Tomfood. Novel Techniques for inspection and engineering of food (micro)structure based on X-ray computed tomography

Porous nutrition is nutrition containing a significant amount of air. The distribution of air in the food has an effect on food quality parameters such as texture, but it is also related to the prevention of internal defects as well as to the stability of nutrition and durability.  X-ray tomography (X-ray CT) allows to visualize and quantify the internal 3D pore structure of objects in a non-destructive way.
