Measurement of myoglobin in pork meat by using steady spatially-resolved spectroscopy

The objective of this work was to determine the concentration of myoglobin in fresh pork meat and establish a fast non-invasive method using steady spatially-resolved spectroscopy (SRS). The concentration of myoglobin was calculated based on absorbance coefficients at 640, 760, 800, 850 nm. The results showed that the value of myoglobin using SRS was significantly correlated (r2=0.955) to traditional methods with the accuracy of 3.6%F.S. The results showed that the concentration of myoglobin can be measured by using near infrared steady spatially-resolved spectroscopy.
