Improved Food Additive Analysis By Ever-Increasing Nanotechnology, Jing Zhang, Shui Hu, Yi Du, Ding Cao, Guirong Wang, Zhiqin Yuan Dec 2020

Improved Food Additive Analysis By Ever-Increasing Nanotechnology, Jing Zhang, Shui Hu, Yi Du, Ding Cao, Guirong Wang, Zhiqin Yuan

Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

Improper use of food additives may lead to potential threat to human health, making it important to develop sensitive and selective method for the detection of them. Nanomaterials with unique chemical and electrochemical properties show extensive applications in the design of food additive sensing systems. In this review, we summarize the recently adopted electrochemical and optical analysis of food additives based on nanomaterials. Detection of typical food additives (colorants and preservatives) by using different sensing mechanisms and strategies are provided. In addition, determination of illegal food additives is also briefly introduced. Finally, this review highlights the challenges and future trend …


Egg Crack Detection Based On Improved Particle Swarm Optimization, Zhang Jian, Cui Ying-Jie Jul 2020

Egg Crack Detection Based On Improved Particle Swarm Optimization, Zhang Jian, Cui Ying-Jie

Food and Machinery

Aiming at the problems of complexity and minuteness of egg crack detection, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed in order to improve the detection effect. Firstly, the inertia weight was adjusted with cosine function, having the large value in the early stage and small value in the later stage. Secondly, particle reverse learning was prevented from falling into the extreme value trap, and the optimization was improved efficiently. Thirdly, adaptive threshold was segmented the egg image, variable median filter window was removed the dark spots on the egg image surface, and incomplete Beta function was enhanced the image. …


Parameter Design And Experiment Of Spectral Detection Tray For Orange Fruit Quality Based On Trace Pro Simulation, Zhang Qian-Qian, Xu Sai, Lu Hua-Zhong Jul 2020

Parameter Design And Experiment Of Spectral Detection Tray For Orange Fruit Quality Based On Trace Pro Simulation, Zhang Qian-Qian, Xu Sai, Lu Hua-Zhong

Food and Machinery

In order to realize the visible/near infrared spectroscopy nondestructive testing of the internal quality of orange fruits, Trace pro software is used to carry out optical simulation analysis on the designed orange fruit online testing and conveying tray model. referring to the luminance/illuminance value in the simulation result, the tray model with higher value is processed in kind, and is tested and verified by combining with the actual spectrum testing platform.The simulation results show that the optimal shape parameters of the achievement transfer tray were: outer diameter 80 mm, inner transverse diameter 55 mm, inner longitudinal diameter 50 mm, and …
