This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project focuses on proving the feasibility of monitoring the aging of packaged foods. The approach uses non-destructive sensing for the evaluation of changes in physical properties of food products. Such properties include moisture content, density, spatial distribution of fillers, and structural integrity. The technology used will allow detection through non-conducting materials and thus will not require destruction of the packages. As such the proposed technology may be able to address one of the bottlenecks of food research.

这个小企业技术转移(STTR)第一阶段项目的重点是证明监测包装食品老化的可行性。该方法使用非破坏性传感来评估食品物理性质的变化。这些特性包括水分含量、密度、填料的空间分布和结构完整性。所使用的技术将允许通过非导电材料进行检测，因此不需要销毁包装。因此，拟议的技术可能能够解决食品研究的瓶颈之一。
