Quickly obtain food microstructures’ properties from your imaging data.

3D imaging techniques, such as X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), provide insights into food structure and how it changes in various situations, including processing operations.

Thermo Scientific Avizo Software is an all-in-one image analysis platform that allows the visualization, processing, and quantification of food and seed structures acquired with a variety of imaging modalities. The microstructural characterization and the relation of microstructure to properties needed in food engineering, chemistry, microbiology, and safety are easily made possible by Avizo Software's comprehensive analysis toolset.

Scientific use cases using Avizo Software


Techniques

Food engineering

Food engineering helps advance product quality, improving food properties for more cost-effective production and commercialization. Avizo Software helps food engineers understand the relation between microstructure and product properties with 3D visualization, processing, and analysis of MRI and microCT images of food. Time-series analysis of the evolution of food is also possible with Avizo Software, further contributing to improvements in the longevity and other aspects of food. Unilever uses Avizo Software to visualize and clarify food structures.

 

Product quality and safety

Providing safe, high-quality food is a mandatory requirement that protects consumers from illness and injury. The combination of microCT images and Avizo Software allows for analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical elements of the finished food product.

For example, during the analysis of a random chocolate candy, the end of the production chain is tasked with checking both the food quality (in terms of quantity of ingredients) and the food safety (presence of undesired materials). The composition of the candy (volume amount of each ingredient) is precisely measured, as well as the porosity.

 

Bubble analysis

Bubbles in food create an aerated structure that enhances the product appearance and its properties (smoothness, creaminess, crispness, etc.). Avizo Software provides efficient methods to segment the bubbles and quantify both their attributes and size distribution. Avizo Software's Pore Network Modeling allows the creation of an equivalent network model of the porous distribution for advanced analysis of the bubbles' interconnections and properties.

 

Powder flowability

Physical properties, such as particle size and spatial distribution, shape factors, packing density, and surface area, play a key role in powder flow. Powder flowability can be fully characterized with Avizo Software's advanced and extensive quantification and analysis toolset.

For example, agglomerates in baby powder milk can be segmented and classified based on size and spatial distribution to quantify their effect on powder flowability.

 

Seed analysis

3D structural analysis of seeds is critical in many aspects of seed technology. Avizo Software's advanced characterization toolset allows for quality control of coated seeds. Seed coat thickness, volume, sphericity, and roughness can be evaluated. Measurements of internal and external seed structures, including volume and surface areas, allow for the quantification of seed properties such as resistance and germination potential. Nondestructive testing visualization and analysis of seeds is also made possible based on Avizo Software's high-quality 3D volume rendering techniques. GEVES uses Avizo Software to study and control plant seeds.
