Abstract. The basic principles of terahertz high resolution spectroscopy on nonstationary effects (free damping polarization being realized in two modes – phase switching of  radiation influenced on gas and fast frequency sweeping) and types of  spectrometers (a wideband spectrometer, a marker detector for registering certain gases, a two-channel spectrometer with two independent radiation sources (118-178 GHz, 330-390 GHz) and one detector) for analysis of multicomponent gas mixtures are considered. The possibility of using terahertz high resolution spectroscopy in agricultural applications such as analysis of grain odors for developing the methods of quality control and diagnostics of grain mycosis degree is considered. The results of application of terahertz high resolution spectroscopy methods for investigations of grain odors content are presented.

Key words: high resolution terahertz spectroscopy, phase switching, fast frequency sweeping, multicomponent gas mixture, grain cultures.
