I recently had the pleasure of attending the ASSBT biennial meeting in Greenville, South Carolina. It was an exciting event that brought together top professionals and executives to discuss the latest in sugar technology and operational excellence Between lecture sessions and hallway huddles I demonstrated SCiO’s capabilities of measuring sugar content in fresh beets, attracting a

This is a place where exciting things happen, so let’s put on our white coats and take a quick tour. We’ll start with a fun quiz. What do currency bills, apples, body fat, and animal feed all have in common? Give up? They are all materials that the lab at Consumer Physics is currently scanning
