This project
is concerned with the development of a food sensor based on measurement
of the proportion of an ultrasonic pulse reflecting from the interface
between food and the sensing probe. Recent progress in this project
has included:
The complete
sensor will allow non-invasive, on-line sensing of these and other
food properties either through a hand held probe or through a
sensor mounted in pipe wall. Some potential applications will
be in the measurement of chocolate temper, petrochemical and plastic
viscosity and gross composition
