Food monitoring based on diode laser gas spectroscopy
Abstract Food is frequently packed in a controlled environment of gas, in order to extend shelf life. It is of great importance to be able to monitor the status of the packed food to ensure quality. We demonstrate a technique to monitor the gas inside packages non-intrusively by using a laser spectroscopicmethod in scattering solid materials. The technique named GASMAS (GAs in Scattering Media Abs
