Abstract
The aims of this project are to determine the state-of-the- art in spectroscopic sensors and related technologies with the aim of developing a new generation of on-line techniques base on optothermal, infrared and Raman spectroscopies. The idea will be to design prototype systems incorporating the latest technological developments specifically with the conditions and requirements of the food industry in mind. While the sensors are being developed, some applications will be studied and suitable probe designs compared. Thebest designs will be determined empirically and by computer simulation involving optical CAD with mathematical modelling of food microstructure. In the final phase of the project the prototypes will be deployed in real factories. the ultimate objective is to develop a European-based sensor product range.
