The width and gravity of food-related health problems is a substantial issue; allergies, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are growing issues and today, approximately 35% of the world’s population can be classified as obese. Excess weight is a problem present in all age groups, with up to 43% of children under school age are overweight. The world is also facing other food-related problems, with the authenticity of food products a big issue in many developing countries.

Spectral Engines responded to these issues by developing a novel spectral sensing platform that offers unique benefits in many applications. Spectral Engines’ Food Scanner concept utilises the world’s smallest true NIR spectral sensing module with advanced algorithms, cloud connectivity and a vast material library to reveal the fat, protein, sugar and total energy content of food items at high accuracy.
