Overview of Food Technology activities

A recent overview of the Food Technology group activities in process monitoring and control - in combination with chemometric methods - can be found in this PDF-document (Danish only). The publication originally appeared in the May 2002 issue of the Danish 'Plus Proces' journal. A recent publication on the same activities in the English language can be found here (August 2002)

Research-visitors at the Food Technology Group

To improve knowledge and widen our scope to novel research areas, we very much welcome extended visits from scientists associated with other (foreign) research institutes. Recent guests are e.g. Jordi Riu, working on parameter uncertainty estimation in multi-way factor models using Jackknife-based estimation methods, and Riccardo Leardi studying on the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) for optimization of high complexity problems (August 2002).

New tools for multivariate data handling

Mats Josefson and coworkers have kindly supplied us with their newly developed MVACDF: "The MVACDF (MultiVariate Analysis Common Data Form) was developed to hold data tables that hold the raw data for multivariate classification or calibration. When multivariate data are created and used, it is beneficial to use an open binary standard format that can be easily converted into an ASCII representation. Import of MVACDF files is today available in Simca-P from Umetrics and Unscrambler from CAMO." (July 2002)
