Abstract :
Thermal imaging technique is useful for detecting 2-dimensional spatial distribution and temporal variation of temperature. Thermal images of foods during the cooking process and/or pulse heating process are observed for evaluating the quality of foods in the volume fabrications. Inhomogeneous temperature distribution of a pancake can be observed during the baking process. Water concentration of flour can be measured from temporal evaluation of thermal images.
