Fast and efficient nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods for food control is still an ongoing field of research. We have recently proposed to combine W-band imaging with nonlinear support vector machine (SVM) classifiers to sort out healthy from damaged fruits for a single variety of fruit. We have tested it on apples and peaches separately with a mean accuracy of 96%. We have also shown the limitation

The consequences of food adulteration can be far reaching. In the past, inexpensive adulterants were used to inflate different products, leading to severe health issues. Contamination of food has many causes and can be physical (plant stems in tea), chemical (melamine in infant formula), or biological (bacterial contamination). Employing suitable sensor systems along the production process is a requirement
