The Norwegian strawberry season is underway. For the time being, all berries are picked by hand, but robots might be doing the job in just a few years. Nofima scientists are in the process of developing sensors that can measure taste. The scientists are mapping the chemistry of ripe strawberries, getting a sensory panel to…
We are developing a handheld NIR instrument that can be used to measure water content in dried and salted cod. This work is closely linked to similar activities in DigiFoods. An instrument like this can find a number useful applications in the food industry. Watch the video to learn about what the industry requires,…
