To ensure food quality and safety food, professionals need a knowledge of food composition and characteristics. The analysis of food product is required for quality management throughout the developmental process including the raw materials and ingredients, but food analysis adds processing cost for food industry and consumes time for government agencies. Advances in Noninvasive Food Analysis explores the potential and recent advances in non-invasive food analysis techniques used to ensure food quality and safety. Such cost-reducing and time-saving non-destructive food analysis techniques covered include, Infrared, Raman Spectroscopy, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. The book also covers data processing and modelling. Features: Covers the advent of non-invasive, non-destructive methods of food analysis Presents such techniques as near and mid infrared, Raman Spectroscopy, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Describes the growing role of nanotechnology in non-invasive food analysis Includes image analysis and data processing and modelling required to sort out the data The prime for this book are food professionals working in industry, control authorities and research organizations that ensure food quality and safety as well as libraries of universities with substantial food science programs, food companies and food producers with research and development departments.

Composite stiffened panels have been used in aerospace industries for past decades. Due to light weight nature composite panels are prone to buckling. In this study buckling load for Ortho-grid panel and Iso-grid panel is determined. This was accomplished by developing a composite laminate for both skin and stiffener using MSC PATRAN/NASTRAN was used for linear buckling analysis of composite panels. The buckling loads of two panels were determined based on finite element analysis results, including geometric dimension, thickness of the skin, number of laminae, ply stacking sequence, thickness and height of stiffener. Parametric studies of general grid stiffened panel was conducted using skin thickness, stiffener thickness and stiffener height as design variables. Conclusions drawn from these results are presented. All three buckling modes appeared and maximum buckling load was observed in skin buckling mode for Iso-grid panel.
