Abstract

A study of color spectrum properties for pure and non-pure latex in discriminating rubber clone series has been presented in this paper. There were five types of clones from the same series being used as samples in this study named RRIM2002, RRIM2007, RRIM2008, RRIM2014, and RRIM3001. The main objective is to identify the significant color spectrum (RGB) from pure and non-pure latex that can discriminate rubber clone series. The significant information of color spectrum properties for pure and non-pure latex is determined by using spectrometer and Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). Visible light spectrum (VIS) is used as a radiation light of the spectrometer to emit light to the surface of the latex sample. By using SPSS software, the further numerical analysis of color spectrum properties is being conducted. As the conclusion, blue color spectrum for non-pure is able to discriminate for all rubber clone series whereas only certain color spectrum can differentiate several clone series for pure latex.

Abstrak

Satu kajian mengenai ciri-ciri warna spektrum dalam membezakan siri klon getah untuk susu getah tulen dan bukan tulen telah dibincangkan di dalam kertas kerja ini. Terdapat 5 jenis klon daripada siri yang sama telah digunakan sebagai sampel iaitu RRIM 2002, RRIM 2007, RRIM2008, RRIM2014, RRIM3001. Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti warna asas spektrum (Merah, Hijau, Biru) daripada susu getah tulen dan tidak tulen yang boleh membezakan siri klon getah. Informasi penting daripada ciri-ciri warna spektrum ini ditentukan menerusi spektrometer dan analisa statistik. Spektrum cahaya yang boleh dilihat ini akan digunakan sebagai cahaya radiasi kepada spektrometer untuk memancarkan cahaya kepada permukaan sampel susu getah. Dengan menggunakan perisian SPSS ini, analisa numerikal selanjutnya akan dijalankan pada ciri-ciri warna spektrum. Secara kesimpulannya, warna spektrum biru bagi sampel tidak tulen boleh membezakan keseluruhan siri klon getah. Manakala, hanya warna spektrum tertentu boleh membezakan jenis klon untuk susu getah tulen.
