Multiport multispectral portable imaging systems having at least two cameras with charge-coupled device sensors, a front lens unit, at least two rear lens units, a beamsplitter, and at least two bandpass filters is used to detect contaminants on food.

Portable multispectral imaging systems

Imaging systems, containing at least one charge-coupled device detector, are used for determining contamination of foodstuffs, such as for example, animal carcasses. Image processing algorithms allow for the identification of contaminants.

Method and system for contaminant detection during food processing

Near-infrared spectroscopic calibration models are developed for the rapid, accurate and non-polluting prediction of the total dietary fiber content in a wide range of cereal products, including mixed grain products, products with high sugar content, products with high crystal sugar content, products with high fat content, and cereal products with high sugar and high fat content.
