Abstract:
The electrical conductivity measurement is applied for determination of various characteristics of
agricultural materials and food control. When a change occurs in the structure of many food, the
electrical conductivity of them also varies. These properties are also useful in the detection of
processing conditions or the quality of foods. The electrical conductivity of foods has been found
to increase linearly with temperature, and water/ionic content. Electrical conductivity
measurements have been used extensively in the food industry to detect contaminants in water
and to monitor microbial activity. Electrical conductivity measurement may also used as a simple
and direct measurement method. |
