Abstract:
Provided is a foodstuff analysis device capable of readily calculating calories or component weights. The foodstuff analysis device has a light-emitting unit, a light-receiving section, and a control unit. The light-emitting unit irradiates light including at least some wavelengths among wavelengths in the range 700-1,100 nm, on to an analysis target. The light-receiving section receives light reflected from the analysis target. The control unit calculates the absorbance of light received by the light-receiving section, and calculates the calories of the analysis target on the basis of the calculated absorbance and on the basis of the correlation between absorbance and calories.
