texture

analysis

Texture analysis through Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) and spectroscopy provides an advanced method for assessing the consistency and feel of food products.

Traditional texture testing can be destructive and inconsistent, while HSI offers non-invasive, real-time analysis that accurately measures product texture.
Beyond’s technology ensures that food manufacturers meet quality standards for texture, enhancing consumer satisfaction.

how does it work?

Hyper spectral imaging analyzes the internal and surface texture by measuring how light interacts with the product, providing non-destructive, accurate assessments.

(a)

Light Interaction Analysis

HSI measures light scattering and absorption, revealing internal and external texture properties.

(b)

Texture Mapping

The data generates a detailed texture map, highlighting any inconsistencies.

(c)

Algorithmic Texture Evaluation

Algorithms interpret the spectral data, assessing firmness, creaminess, or crispness.

(d)

Real-Time Feedback

Immediate feedback allows for quick adjustments, ensuring product texture consistency.
