Nondestructive food evaluation: techniques to analyse properties and quality.

Author(s) : GUNASEKARAN S.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book in the Food Science and Technology series, illustrates significant advances in optical, magnetic, ultrasonic, mechanical, and biological nondestructive evaluation techniques for on-line automatic control of food quality evaluation, including X-ray tomography. The book describes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the analysis of water mobility, glass transition process, observation of water and fat distribution, and internal food blemishes; introduces the physics of high-frequency sound and measurement of ultrasonic properties in foods; demonstrates dynamic, vibrational, and low-intensity impact experimentation in food texture testing; highlights the "electronic nose" as well as semiconductor, metal oxide, surface acoustic wave, and conducting polymer odour sensors. It also demonstrates linear viscoelastic and firmness quantification methods and explores visible, near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in food analysis. Extract from the table of contents: optical methods: visible, NIR, and FTIR spectroscopy; computer vision; delayed light emission and fluorescence; X-ray imaging for classifying food products based on internal defects; NMR techniques and their application in food quality analysis; ultrasonics; firmness-measurement methods; linear viscoelastic methods; biosensors in food quality evaluation; new techniques for food quality data analysis and control.
