Chemical Imaging Technology

Company's chemical imaging technology (CIT®) is a hyperspectral sensor-based system for potato processors that creates an image of sugar end potato strips to show invisible defects.

Company's chemical imaging technology (CIT®) is a hyperspectral sensor-based system for potato processors that creates an image of sugar end potato strips to show invisible defects. The technology is an advanced value-added solution that further enhances potato sorting capabilities. The technology features:

  • Unique software and algorithms that process the information from the hyperspectral sensors to evaluate the chemical composition of the potato
  • Determination of the presence of sugar ends, dry matter, and percent of solids
  • Sorting capabilities that improve yield and product quality
  • Analysis of the chemical composition of incoming potatoes to optimize blanching and frying
