Compton Group Invent Garlic Sensor
A sensor to determine the strength of garlic for the food industry has been developed in the Compton Group.
Richard Compton and his team, including 2010 EPSRC supported summer student Ben Martindale, from the University of Oxford have made an electrochemical sensor that detects the amount of diallylsulfides in garlic.
