Photonics plays an essential role in the screening of food products. This includes the detection of foreign objects, the classification of a product batch based on its quality, the monitoring of the (potential) presence of carcinogenic elements, authenticity tests on liquids in the framework of food fraud and the quality monitoring of water.

B-PHOT will host the PhotonHub Demo Centre on 'Photonics & Food' in Brussels on February 2, 2022. Join our researchers in their labs and discover how photonics can play an essential role in the harvesting and screening of food products.
