Toward healthier pork with Food Technology

Hyperspectral Meggie

A year and a half ago, Meggie Wijen completed her graduate internship for Applied Mathematics & Applied Mathematics - Fontys College of Engineering completed at Vision Partners. Meggie conducted research on the in-line determination of the degree of saturation of pork fat (the iodine addition number) using an industrial hyperspectral camera. By measuring the quality of pork fat in-line, the food chain can be steered toward a higher quality product. A step toward a more sustainable food chain.

Food Technology

Using hyperspectral camera technology applied in the SWIR spectral region, the chemical composition of animal products can be measured in-line. Food Technology brings together the worlds of food and technology to collaborate on an efficient and sustainable food system

She recently presented her thesis "A Road to Healthier Pork" at the "2022 Best Thesis in Applied Math" . Resulting in a nice 2the award of which Vision Partners is immensely proud!
