A NUTRITION ANALYSIS MODULE FOR A FOOD PROCESSING DEVICE OR FOOD STORAGE DEVICE

A food processing device (70) or food storage device (70) is provided in which a foodstuff (42) stored or processed in a chamber (72) is analyzed by an integrated nutrition analysis system (30) which uses attenuated total reflection, ATR, with nutrient/ingredient selectivity, for example by means of...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A food processing device (70) or food storage device (70) is provided in which a foodstuff (42) stored or processed in a chamber (72) is analyzed by an integrated nutrition analysis system (30) which uses attenuated total reflection, ATR, with nutrient/ingredient selectivity, for example by means of one or more discrete filters (46). The food processing device or food storage device (70), comprises: a chamber (72) for housing a foodstuff (42) to be processed or stored; and a nutrition analysis system (30), comprising: an electromagnetic radiation source (32); a radiation guide (34) for guiding the electromagnetic radiation based on total internal reflection, wherein the radiation guide comprises an input (36) coupled to the electromagnetic radiation source (32), an output (38), and a sensing surface (40) between the input and output for placing against a foodstuff to be analyzed, wherein the sensing surface (40) is for contact with the foodstuff (42); and a detector (44) for detecting guided electromagnetic radiation at the output of the radiation guide.
