- Abstract:
- Food quality and food safety are gaining the past decades more and more importance. In particular application domains such as the identification of foreign bodies in solid food streams, the quality screening of vegetables and fruits, the recognition of food products inducing a health risk and themonitoring of the quality and authentication of liquids. In view of this, the authors of this paper started exploring the potentialities of photonics where the main objective consisted in answering the question if food screening methods could be photonics-based.
