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. Foreign bodies could be small metallic or nonmetallic pieces that are accidentally dropped into the food products. In this paper, the ultrasonic method is used to detect the foreign bodies in...
