Abstract :
Planar electromagnetic sensors based approach of quality testing of pork belly cuts in a non-invasive and nondestructive way has been proposed in this paper. The sensor is of planar interdigital type. The response of the sensors indicates a good possibility of using this type sensor for the prediction of fat content in pork belly in a non-invasive way. The good response of the sensors at low frequencies suggests that it should be possible to develop a low cost sensing system based on a SiLab microcontroller C8051F020
