Role of Biosensors and Image Processing for Improving Quality Inspection of Food Products: A Review

Abstract

Every year, millions of people experience serious and sometimes fatal health problems due to consumption of unsafe or contaminated food. Biosensors and image processing techniques provide solutions to some of the challenges that arise in food inspection. The conventional food-inspection techniques which depend on collection of samples followed by qualitative analysis in labs are time-consuming and inspections are not too much efficient. With the advancement of technology in computers, scientific methods are used to measure different quality parameters of food products in a short time. In this paper, the main focus is on the importance of biosensors and image processing for improving quality inspection of food products.

Keywords: Biosensors, image processing, food quality, transducer
