POROSITY DETERMINATION OF FREEZE-DRIED POTATO BY IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD
In this paper,a porosity determination method was proposed for the freeze-dried potato based on the image processing method.The potato was first frozen using different methods and then was vacuum-dried.The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) photographs were taken for the sliced dried potato and then were converted into the blackwhite images by image processing.By accumulating the area ratio of the black pixel in the image,the porosity of the freeze-dried potato can be determined.By applying this image processing method,it was found that the porosity varied between 0.28 and 0.61 and the sample size plays a important role in the porosity in this experiment.
