New Delhi: ImagoAI, a cutting-edge foodtech AI startup headquartered in Silicon Valley, has achieved prestigious Performance Tested MethodsSM (PTM) certification from the AOAC Research Institute for its groundbreaking rapid Galaxy for Mycotoxins Test in corn.
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain fungi, posing risks to human and animal health. Certain mycotoxins have been linked to even carcinogenic effects. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated that 25% of the crops worldwide are contaminated with mycotoxins.
Galaxy for Mycotoxins test by ImagoAI utilizes cutting-edge Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and Artificial Intelligence(AI) to test mycotoxins. The Galaxy analyzes the hyperspectral image using an AI model and displays the quantitative results of mycotoxins in ppb or ppm within a few seconds. No chemicals or reagents are required to perform these tests. As the developer of the world’s first eco-friendly mycotoxin test to receive PTM certification, ImagoAI leads the way in sustainable food safety tests.
Hyperspectral Imaging Technology
Hyperspectral imaging is a sophisticated technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum, far beyond the limited range visible to the human eye. Unlike traditional imaging methods that record only a few discrete spectral bands (like red, green, and blue), hyperspectral imaging acquires hundreds of contiguous spectral bands.
This is achieved by using specialized sensors that detect light intensity across a broad range of wavelengths. Each pixel in a hyperspectral image contains a spectrum, essentially a signature of how light is reflected or emitted by the material at that specific location across the spectrum.
By analyzing this wealth of spectral data with its proprietary deep-tech AI models, Galaxy by ImagoAI can extract valuable information about mycotoxins. This is because different materials interact with light in unique ways across the spectrum, leading to distinctive spectral signatures.
