"CHARACTERIZATION OF SLAUGHTERED AND NON-SLAUGHTERED GOAT MEAT AT LOW FREQUENCIES"

The electrical stimulation of meat has a high potential for use in the quality control of meat tissues during the past two decades. Dielectric spectroscopy is the most used technique to measure the electrical properties of tissues. Open ended coaxial cable or two parallel plates integrated with n...

Dielectric spectroscopy is the most used technique to measure the electrical properties of tissues.

The purpose of this research is to construct a capacitive device capable of differentiating slaughtered and non-slaughtered goat meats, by determining the dielectric properties of goat meat at various frequencies and storage times. The detector cell has two circular platinum plates assembled on the micrometer barrel encased within a perspex box material to form the capacitor.
