Abstract

Production of pork is a daily objective for both producers and consumers. Pork quality and its economic advantages can be enhanced by using quick, non-destructive, and inexpensive monitoring techniques. This study investigates the potential of using international photos to monitor pork quality. Image processing is done using the ROI- based processing, and then using a specific algorithm for food quality assessment. This allowed structural characteristics to be retrieved from the several photos of flesh tissue. A monochrome camera and four sets of optical filters covering the red (625 nm), green (525 nm), blue (465 nm), and near-IR (940 nm) spectra were employed in this work. In this research, the use of multispectral imaging and chemometrics combined modeling is validated as a non-destructive, quick, low-cost quality control tool that can effectively monitor pork quality. This offers a scientific foundation for the next study and creation of broadly applicable devices for both assessing pork quality and multispectral imaging techniques.
