PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To estimate cheese maturation degree indicators objectively and quickly.;SOLUTION: A cheese maturation degree indicator estimating method for estimating cheese maturation degree indicators of an estimation object comprises: a fluorescence fingerprint information acquisition step of measuring the fluorescence intensity of cheese to be evaluated while varying stepwise the radiating excitation wavelength and the fluorescence wavelength to be observed in a prescribed excitation wavelength range and a prescribed fluorescence wavelength range, and acquiring the fluorescence fingerprint information on the cheese to be evaluated; and a maturation degree estimating step of estimating the maturation degree indicators of the cheese to be evaluated on the basis of the fluorescence fingerprint information.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1;COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
