Original Abstract

Meat as a rich source of protein is sought after by people from all over the world. It is also very susceptible to decay because of many internal and external processes affecting it. In this work an easy and quick method of detection of structural damage caused by decay or mishandling the meat is attempted by the method of angular absorption of light. The difference between structural changes due to aging, drying and freezing is explored and the resulting changes in light absorption in meat samples are presented. This work demonstrates that the measurement of optical angular dependency of absorption in relation to the muscle fibers in muscle tissue has the potential of detecting structural damage to the sample for meat quality control purposes.
