Intelligent sensing technology of agricultural products can effectively
guarantee food quality and safety, and is the key technical support to promote the rapid
development of the world’s agricultural products processing industry, bringing more
opportunities and development space to the emerging agricultural products processing
industry. Intelligent sensing technology for agricultural products is a multidisciplinary
research field, which has the advantages of fast detection speed, convenient operation,
and easy online detection. This work reviews the research of optical, acoustic,
electrical, magnetic, and bionic sensing technologies in the processing of agricultural
products, expounds the principle, structure, and typical applications of each sensing
technology, and summarizes the problems and trends in the development of each
sensing technology. Intelligent sensing technology for agricultural product quality and
safety is developing towards the direction of high sensitivity, automation, networking,
intelligence, and multi-function, and has gradually become an indispensable and
important technical means for agricultural product quality and safety inspection. The
intelligent sensing technology of agricultural products is developing synchronously
with the integration of the Internet of things, big data, and cloud computing, which can
realize the standardization, refinement, and intelligent management of the agricultural
products processing process.
