Fluorescence spectroscopy for accurate and rapid prediction of meat composition

Cıldızay ÖZBEKOVA | Asılbek KULMIRZAYEV

The potential of fluorescence spectroscopy was assessed to study cow, goat, sheep and yak meat. Meat samples were taken from muscles, viz. Gluteus medius (GM), Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Semitendinosus (ST). The moisture, fat and protein content of meat samples were measured. The emission fluorescence spectra of tryptophan (305-500 nm), riboflavin (410-700 nm) and vitamin A (340-540) were recorded directly on meat samples at 290, 382 and 322 nm, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares regression (PLSR) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) were ...More
