Abstract: The light backscatter probe includes a housing carrying at least one optical transmission fiber and two optical reception or collecting fibers. The ends of the fibers are closed by a sapphire window. First and second light sources are provided for projecting incident light onto a product outside the sapphire window. The reception paths or fibers are located at different radial distances from the one optical transmission path to allow for measuring the coagulation of dairy products or determination of compositions of food products.
