Abstract
It is proposed to develop a low-cost, robust, non-invasive, fully-automated on-line magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol for sensing the quality of food being processed in a continuous extrusion or conveyor-belt situation. It is suggested that the current difficulties associated with conventional magnetic resonance imaging, such as the use of expensive super-conducting magnets and time-consuming 2 or 3-dimensional imaging can be overcome by using low-cost permanent magnets and one-dimensional projection difference imaging protocols. If successful, the new approach could be adapted and applied throughout the food processing and packaging industry for on-line quality monitoring.
