 Terahertz Technology: Principles and Applications in the Agri-Food Industry https://DevCourseWeb.com English | 2023 | ISBN: 9781003197010 | 290 Pages | True PDF | 7.65 MBTerahertz (THz) technology is an active area of research, but only in recent years has the application of THz waves (T waves) in food and agricultural industries been explored.Terahertz Technology: Principles and Applications in the Agri-Food Industry describes the operating principles of THz technology and discusses applications and advantages of the THz regime of the electromagnetic spectrum for use in the agri-food industry. The agri-food industry is focusing on the development of non-destructive quality evaluation techniques that can provide accurate analysis quickly and are environmentally friendly. Among such techniques is THz technology that provides a novel noninvasive approach to quality assessment and safety assurance of agri-food products. The low energy of T waves is best suited for the analysis of sensitive biomaterials and does not cause photoionization. Therefore, THz imaging is complementary to X-ray imaging. Although accessing the THz spectrum is tedious by conventional devices, the combination of optics and electronics principles has opened a dimension of research in this field.
