Detection of foreign bodies in canned foods using ultrasonic testing

Foreign bodies in packaged foods may pose both a safety risk and a risk of perceived degradation of quality. When food products are manufactured or packaged, small foreign objects might end up in the product. It is naturally desirable for the food industry that all foreign bodies are detected and...

In this study, the ultrasonic method was used to detect the foreign bodies in canned foods.
