Hyperspectral Systems
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is increasingly used in the food industry to improve quality control, safety, and process optimization. By combining imaging with spectral analysis, HSI enables rapid, non-destructive detection of subtle differences in food products that are invisible to standard RGB cameras.
Key Applications
Quality assessment
Non-invasive prediction of moisture in nuts (R² ≥ 0.93 for macadamia kernels and nuts-in-shell) and ripeness in avocados, with CNN-based models achieving ~1.2-day accuracy in ripening prediction.
Oil and fat analysis
Accurate quantification of oil content and distribution in potato chips and prediction of marbling in beef, matching trained human judges in grading.
Defect detection
Identification of hidden bruises in apples and subtle changes in cooked food such as missing breading or undercooked/overcooked regions in chicken nuggets.
Food safety
Hyperspectral classification algorithms can locate contaminants or irregularities during processing, supporting high-throughput inspection lines.
Impact : Hyperspectral imaging supports the food sector by delivering objective, fast, and non-destructive quality inspection tools. From farm to processing plants, HSI enables consistent product quality, reduces waste, and enhances consumer safety.
