Dielectric oil quality sensors: CargillRecent Research Landscape

Degraded frying oil generates polar compounds that ruin food quality and increase operational waste. Real-time sensing and predictive modeling mitigate these costs by extending the oil's usable life cycle.

What technical problems is Cargill addressing in Dielectric oil quality sensors?

Accelerated frying oil degradation

(4)evidences

Chemical breakdown of lipids during prolonged heating leads to harmful byproduct accumulation and reduced food safety. Preventing this degradation ensures consistent oil quality and extends operational lifespan.

Edible oil thermal degradation

(1)evidences

Chemical breakdown and accumulation of polar compounds reduce oil safety and frying performance. Real-time detection prevents consumption of rancid products and minimizes premature oil disposal.
