Non-destructive Testing (NDT)

Non-destructive testing encompasses technologies evaluating miso quality without taking samples. Near-infrared spectroscopy and headspace analysis are representative examples.

Traditional quality inspection requires extracting samples, wasting product. NDT inspects without damaging the product, theoretically enabling 100% inspection. Superior in speed and economy, with growing application to inline production inspection. Knowing without disturbing.

Near-infrared spectroscopy, X-ray inspection, and ultrasonic testing are representative non-destructive methods. In food science, NIR simultaneous measurement of moisture, lipids, and protein is especially widespread. Reducing inspection costs while increasing frequency dramatically enhances quality assurance reliability.
