The expert contributors to Nondestructive Testing of Food Quality clearly explain present industry advances and how to turn available instrumentation into valuable assets. Readers learn how the competencies of product knowledge, process understanding, instrumentation, principles of sensing, process control, and analytical methodology are required to turn an application into success. The broad-based coverage of topics addresses the most dominant sensor technologies keeping in mind the research initiatives advancing these technologies not only in food but also in the pharmaceutical sectors. Coverage includes: ultrasound, near infrared spectroscopy, mid-infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging systems, magnetic resonance imaging, electronic nose, z-nose, biosensors, microwave absorption, and nanoparticles and colloids as sensors.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiii + 364 pages, NOT ex-library. Fine interior, minor external shelfwear. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This is a specialized technical guide that explains how to evaluate food products without damaging them. The book bridges the gap between academic research and industrial application by detailing sensor technologies used for quality control and process monitoring. The book addresses the critical need for rapid, non-invasive testing in the food and pharmaceutical industries to ensure safety and quality while reducing waste. It focuses on: - Sensor Technology [transitioning from laboratory instrumentation to "valuable assets" on the production line]; - Process Control [how multidisciplinary training and planning are required to maintain stable measurement conditions and execute corrective actions]; - Multidisciplinary Approach [combining product knowledge, process understanding, and analytical methodology for successful industrial implementation]. Key Technologies Covered: The volume provides in-depth coverage of several dominant and emerging nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods: - Vibrational Spectroscopy [detailed chapters on Near-Infrared (NIR), Mid-Infrared, and Raman Spectroscopy]; - Imaging & Visual Systems [analysis of Hyperspectral Imaging, X-ray, and Computer Vision for detecting internal and external defects]; - Acoustics & Magnetic Resonance [use of Ultrasound and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) for studying food structures and consistency]; - Chemical & Biological Sensors [applications of the Electronic Nose (e-nose) and various Biosensors]; - Advanced Materials [discussion on nanoparticles and colloids used as sensors for enhanced sensitivity]. About the Editors: - Joseph Irudayaraj, PhD: A professor specializing in biological and food engineering with expertise in micro and nanosensors for food and health applications; - Christoph Reh, PhD: A research scientist at the Nestlé Research Center with extensive experience in process analytics and nondestructive testing for industrial applications.
