High speed food texture measurement system.

Author(s) : ASTLEFORD J. J. Jr

Summary

The paper describes a new concept for the real-time measurement and control of food properties at high speeds, by non-contact and non-destructive means. This concept utilizes a simple basic approach, consisting of a brief controlled burst of air to deflect the surface of the food material and a laser-based system to accurately measure the deflection and rebound response of the food material. A solid-state control system provides the management of the air burst and the laser system, and the control of the data acquisition and output processing of the measurement information. Complete measurement cycles can be completed in times as short as 100 milliseconds.
