Producing Maple syrup is based on a process which is in ongoing progress in order to optimize maple syrup production by achieving a very accurate control of sugar concentration in consumable maple syrup. Having an extremely accurate and real time sugar sensor during the fabrication process of maple syrup is extremely critical in order to monitor sugar concentration from sap to final maple syrup. In this food industry, Canada is the largest world producer of maple syrup. Thus, having such a sugar sensor and monitoring system has a huge financial impact on Canadian producers and consequently a significant impact on our Canadian maple industry. Nowadays, industrial and reliable devices to measure sugar concentration during maple syrup fabrication are mainly based on refractometry. However, accurate refractometers are very expensive which makes them not affordable to several producers. Thus in this proposal we aim to develop a new ultra-high sensitivity sugar sensor for maple syrup industry in order to improve the production of maple syrup when it is transformed from sap to industrial syrup.

生产枫糖浆是基于一个正在进行的过程，以优化枫糖浆生产，实现非常准确的控制糖浓度的消费枫糖浆。在枫糖浆的制造过程中，为了监测从树液到最终枫糖浆的糖浓度，具有极其准确和真实的时间糖传感器是极其关键的。在这个食品工业中，加拿大是世界上最大的枫糖浆生产国。因此，拥有这样的糖传感器和监测系统对加拿大生产商产生了巨大的财务影响，从而对我们的加拿大枫树产业产生了重大影响。如今，在枫糖浆制造过程中测量糖浓度的工业和可靠的设备主要基于折射法。然而，精确的折射计非常昂贵，这使得它们对一些生产商来说是负担不起的。因此，在本提案中，我们的目标是开发一种新的超高灵敏度糖传感器的枫糖浆工业，以提高生产的枫糖浆时，它从树液转化为工业糖浆。
