Member input required on research project

The project has two main approaches, and for both we are asking members for input. As part of the first approach, the project will involve the publishing of a review of properties that can be measured online in food processes. This will involve a comparison of the types of sensor technologies available; examples include temperature measurement using thermocouples, resistance thermometers or infrared detectors, and measurement of moisture or fat content using NIR sensors. Member suggestions for additional or alternative technologies would be appreciated.

The second approach will be the evaluation of several new applications of on–line sensors. This could include new technologies ready for evaluation or new applications for established technologies. Initial trials will be conducted here, with subsequent trials at member sites. We are looking for suggestions of on-line measurement needs, approaches you would like us to evaluate, and sensors for evaluation, and the opportunity to conduct trials at member sites.
