Study on Optical Properties of Milk based on Light Propagation Theory

Abstract

The light propagation in milk based on experimental and theoretical analysis is reviewed. The review is done on light propagation theory which consists of light absorbance, reflection, and scattering. The study covers on types of milk, milk quality and modelling methods based on Mie scattering and Monte Carlo algorithm. The experiments consist of spectrometry methods where visible (VIS) and near infra-red (NIR) are used. Many spectrometry experiments and theoretical modelling are discussed to observe and analyse optical properties of milk.
