Photonics enhanced sensors for food monitoring: part 1

This paper is the first part in a series of three where the authors show how photonics based food sensors can contribute to the quality control and safety of solid and liquid food products. In this first part, we describe the theoretical aspects of the various physical phenomena that can occur during food screening together with their related measurement setups. In addition, this document contains information regarding data processing and the concerned sensing platforms.
