Objective Methods for the estimation of sugar and alcohol contents depend on the chemical analysis of samples. These can be slow, involve noxious chemicals, confined to the laboratory and unsuitable for on-line process control. A new technology, involving ionic and non- ionic dynamics and cell wall physics when defined as constituents of an electrical circuit, creates an opportunity to provide a new electronic method for analysis for chemical composition of tissues, liquids and solutions. Each sample type requires probes, electrical excitation and complex algorithms (to convert electrical data to composition) that are application specific.Thus this project intends to focus on two priority applications(i) sugar in sugar beet and(ii) alcohol in beer .It is intended to research circuitry for each application and to build and test prototype equipment in the laboratory and in-site.
