Quality control is crucial in the food industry. Monitoring the product\u2019s nutritive property protects and increases a brand\u2019s reputation. Fat content is one of the properties consumers look at when buying meat. Its quantitative level needs to be precisely documented. Also, monitoring the fat content while transforming meat plays a cost-effective role. New automation technologies are therefore required to improve brand competitiveness.<\/p>\n

For this study, five meat samples were obtained and mixed to create ten samples for analysis. To know their fat content accurately, Specim ordered measurements from a 3rd party laboratory, Seilab. According to the Gerber method, they are certified in fat analysis, using a butyrometer (Seilab in Sein\u00e4joki, Finland; method NMKL 181, 2005; see Table 1 below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Table 1: fat content on each sample included in this study. Samples 3 and 4 were used for validation purposes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We measured the samples with Specim FX17 hyperspectral camera (Fig.1). Hyperspectral imaging is a non-destructive method that combines spectroscopy and imaging. It collects NIR spectra for each pixel of the acquired image (900 \u2013 1700 nm). Those can be converted into fat content employing relevant processing algorithms. Here a regression model was built and calibrated on eight samples and applied to the two remaining ones (indicated with * in Table 1).<\/p>\n

Table 1 and Fig. 2 show the regression model results. It indicates that the FX17 is a suitable tool for measuring the fat content in ground meat.<\/p>\n

In addition to measuring the fat content in samples, hyperspectral imaging is suitable for measuring its distribution (Fig.3).<\/p>\n

Conclusions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Specim FX17 in machine vision systems will provide meat transformers with crucial and accurate fat quantification information. This fast and non-destructive method is also suitable for detecting other properties such as moisture and freshness. Furthermore, this method can sort contaminants such as pieces of wood and plastics. FX17 is a perfect tool for industrial quality control. Besides, the methods\u2019 flexibility allows a fast adaptation to new regulations.<\/p>\n

Hyperspectral imaging offers cost reduction and quick adaptation to new regulations by providing real-time information about the manufacturing process for decision-making and real-time control of meat processing factory input and output within specification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23578,"template":"","learning_center_categories":[237],"class_list":["post-23565","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","learning_center_categories-color-appearance-measurement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nFat Content In Ground Meat - Konica Minolta Sensing<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sensing.konicaminolta.us\/us\/blog\/fat-content-in-ground-meat\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fat Content In Ground Meat\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Quality control is crucial in the food industry.
