Detection of chlorine in potassium chloride and potassium sulfateusing chemical imaging and artificial neural network.

Chlorine in potassium chloride and potassium sulfate must be detected due to its negative effect on soil. Although the laboratory-based chlorine measurement tests are reliable, they are time-consuming, expensive, and requires chemical agents and highly skilled operators. Therefore, the novelty of the present research is developing a fast, accurate, and cheap machine-based method to measure the amount of chlorine.

Electronic tongue as innovative instrument for detection of crocin concentration in saffron ().

Electronic tongue is a new approach for simple and fast detection, classification, and quantification of the solved compounds. Crocin is the main source of color of saffron ( L.).

Detection of fraud in ginger powder using an automatic sorting system based on image processing technique and deep learning.

Ginger is a well-known product in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Ginger is one of the spices which are adulterated for economic gain. The lack of marketability of grade 3 chickpeas (small and broken chickpeas) and their very low price have made them a good choice to be mixed with ginger in powder form and sold in the market.

A novel method based on machine vision system and deep learning to detect fraud in turmeric powder.

Assessing the quality of food and spices is particularly important in ensuring proper human nutrition. The use of computer vision method as a non-destructive technique in measuring the quality of food and spices has always been taken into consideration by researchers. Due to the high nutritional value of turmeric among the spices as well as the fraudulent motives to gain economic profit from the selling of this product, its quality assessment is very important.

Acoustic analysis of a single-cylinder diesel engine using magnetized biodiesel-diesel fuel blends.

Fuels have important effects on the quality parameters of engines such as noise pollution and vibration. Diesel fuel are used in wide range of applications especially in compression ignition engines. The objective of the present research is evaluation of the noise emitted from a single-cylinder diesel engine using magnetized biodiesel-diesel fuel blends.

Evaluation of engineering properties for waste control of tomato during harvesting and postharvesting.

In Iran, more than 30% of agricultural products turn into waste at different stages from harvesting to consumption. Thus, main factors for performing of this present study are including of: (a) the importance of tomato as an agricultural product and (b) lack of information about reducing waste during tomato processing. In this study, some physical, nutritional, mechanical, and hydrodynamic properties of tomato were measured under standard conditions.
