Ultrasound Testing for the Food Industry


Let the Food Chain see into your products

Ultrasound tomography allows you to ‘see' dynamic processes in a non-invasive way, enabling accurate analysis and evaluations of critical scenarios.  Ultrasound investigation can measure the freshness of products predicatively.

Investigations can focus on texture, viscosity and concentration measurements of many solid or fluid foods.  Ultrasound testing provides non-destructive inspection of some foods and food packages.

The Food Chain provides:

  • Ultrasound investigations on particle, emulsion and gel characterisation
  • Measuring crispiness and crunchiness in food, enabling improved food products
  • Investigation into the freshness of products
  • Non-destructive evaluation of the internal quality and latent defects of whole fruits and vegetables enhancing QC/QA procedures
  • Improvement of food product/process monitoring and increasing efficiencies
  • Food preservation and shelf life extension
  • Close ties between project management and scientific delivery enable on time innovation
  • World class science delivery and expert access
  • Timely delivery of cost effective innovation
