A non-destructive tool for the analysis for beef characteristics, the SPECTRAL EVOLUTION SM-3500 field portable spectrometer identifies the moisture, protein and fat content of raw and processed meat. It also detects and quantifies adulterants in frozen or thawed ground beef; measures the effects of storage time and temperature on chicken breast tenderness; predicts the sensory characteristics of lamb for sorting by quality; and analyzes the chemical composition of meat for nutritional guides.
