Description:
Literature research of potential non-invasive sensing technologies suitable for measuring food intake and meal properties

This dataset contains the following files:
1. Overview of selected literatureand main results
2. References
3. Review papers 
4. Overview table of sensor technology/method based on selected literature for measuring food properties and components 

Explanation of variables:
1. Overview of selected literatureand main results
Based on relevant literature an overview of different sensor technology/spectroscopic methods are presented and which food properties/components they measured. The colors indicate if sample prepration is used. Furthermore, the references are represented as a number.

2. References
Relevant references used for overview of selected literature and main results

3. Review papers 
Relevant review papers used for overview of selected literature and main results

4. Overview table of sensor technology/method based on selected literature for measuring food properties and components 
Relevant literature from search is presented in an overview table with main variables. This appendix can be consulted for reference work. 

Methods, materials and software:
Method for literature search: 
Step 1:  Broad media search performed by project team to get an idea of various techniques used for measuring food type/nutrient.
"Step 2: WUR library performed broad scope literature search with relevant terms and queries, in different scientific literature, patent databases and 
IEEE Digital Library. Based on 'working document sensing technology inventory' at sharepoint."
"Step 3: Project team continued with literature search to narrow this down to relevant literature which can be suitable for measuring food intake and/or meal properties. 
"

Software used:
Excel 
EndNote
