Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Quantification of optical properties is important to understand light interaction with biological materials, and to develop effective optical sensing techniques for property characterization and quality measurement of food products. This chapter reviews spatially-resolved method, with the focus on fiber optic probe-based, imaging-based, hyperspectral imaging-based, and spatial-frequency domain imaging-based techniques. The theory and modeling of the techniques is presented, and instrumental measurements, advantages and disadvantages, and applications of these techniques are discussed. Finally the chapter discusses research challenges and future trends in spatially-resolved technique for measuring optical properties and structures of food products.
