Abstract

Falsification of food makes serious threat to its quality and safety. The spivery results from cupidity of unfair food producers to increase their profits. Especially, expensive and produced in great quantities products are in danger. Border opening and free transflux of goods and services favors the falsification. Moreover, lack of unique law, procedures and suitable equipment makes proper controlling difficult. Apparatus to be applied on a large scale should offer objective results obtained quickly, also outside a laboratory rom. These conditions are met by the apparatus taking advantage of non-destructive ultrasound method utilizing vibration frequency of an analyzed material within 20 kHz – 1 GHz.
