FoodAspect’s systems provide real time internal process control for the food industry. The main applications are analysis of the make-up and characteristics of fluids and pastes, as well as cereals, baked products, potato products, sauces, concentrates, ice cream and processed meats. Previously these needs were addressed mainly by sampling or lab testing. Using MRI, the results of additional tests such as: chemical analysis, oil and moisture distribution, sugar level, Ph and physical analysis of structure, voids, thickness of filling and coating, are immediately available within seconds on the production line.

| Application | Technology | Benefit | Details |
| On line viscosity of Non Newtonian Products | Imaging-Rheology | Quality, yield | Food: tomato paste, gravy, dairy, processed meat Non Food: personal care (shampoo, lotions, toothpaste) Polymers |
| Foreign object detection | Imaging | Food safety, quality | Processed meat - bone and cartilage particles, fat/moisture content |
| Freezing process | Imaging | Increased shelf life | Crystallization of frozen foods |
| Fermentation monitoring | Spectroscopy | Yield, energy | Process monitoring - beer, dairy Non Food - bio fuels, chemical industry |
| Food oils | Spectroscopy | Quality, yield | Oxidation, rancidity, FFA |
| Extrusion monitoring | Imaging | Quality, yield | Food and non food items made by extrusion processes |

| Sample Application: Bostwick Analysis Non-Newtonian products are very common and include polymers, suspensions, and emulsions. Most fluid foods (except beverages) as well as personal care products, home care products and many other industrial products are non-Newtonian in their rheological behavior... [read more] |
