Non-invasive sensing for food reassurance

The main food quality traits of interest using non-invasive sensing techniques are sensory characteristics, chemical composition, physicochemical properties, health-protecting properties, nutritional characteristics and safety. A wide range of non-invasive sensing techniques, from optical, acoustical, electrical, to nuclear magnetic, X-ray, biosensor, microwave and terahertz, are organized according to physical principle.

Is food allergen analysis flawed? Health and supply chain risks and a proposed framework to address urgent analytical needs

Food allergy is an increasing problem. If we fail to realise the promise of current risk assessment and risk management of food allergens through lack of ability to measure them reproducibly and with traceability to an international unit of measurement, the analytical community will have failed a significant societal challenge.
