Abstract
A food processing apparatus for preparing a fluid food product includes a food processing chamber including a blade arrangement driven by a motor; a particle sensor arranged to measure an actual particle size within said fluid food product in said food processing chamber and a controller arranged to control the motor. The controller is communicatively coupled to the particle sensor and may disengage the motor in response to a signal from the particle sensor indicative of the actual particle size reaching a threshold value of no less than 400 μm within said fluid food product.
