"Non-destructive, non-contact" analysis technology for beef and red pepper powder transferred to private sector

The Korea Food Research Institute (President Baek Hyun-dong) announced on the 18th that it will transfer a "hyperspectral imaging data analysis program" to the private sector and push for commercialization. The hyperspectral imaging data analysis program, which can analyze materials in a non-destructive and non-contact manner, contains information from more than hundreds of wavelengths, allowing for more precise sample analysis than conventional black and white or color (RGB) images. It is particularly noteworthy as a technology that can replace existing chemical and destructive testing methods by non-destructively identifying internal components, freshness, and foreign matter inclusion without damage. The Korea Food Research Institute has already produced various research results using this technology, such as quality analysis of beef, quality determination of red pepper powder, and grade classification of red ginseng. Currently, the hyperspectral imaging data analysis program is ...
