TeraFOOD project
New technology detects irregularities in fresh produce
Researchers of the UPNA (Open University of Navarra) and the Anteral company, can detect irregularities in food in time, thanks to applying terahertz technology in their TeraFOOD project by means of innovative sensors. These innovative sensors are used for both fruit and vegetables and for sliced meat products. This project was made possible in part thanks to a subsidy of 300,000 euro by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs.
The terahertz technology, based on terahertz waves, is already being used in security systems, but according to the initiators of TeraFOOD, this is the first time ever that this technology has been applied in the food sector. The TeraFOOD project has been developed by the Anteral company (coordination) and the research group ‘Antenas’ from the UPNA, and has been integrated by lead researcher Juan Carlos Iriarte Galarregui and five other researchers.
