  • Predicting intramuscular fat content in pork and beef by near infrared spectroscopy
    Prevolnik Povše, Maja, 1981- ...
    Prediction ability of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for intramuscular fat content (IMF) was studied. The material comprised 126 muscle samples; 46 pig longissimus dorsi and semitendinosus and 34 ... beef longissimus dorsi muscle samples. The IMF content was chemically determined in duplicate using two different chemical methods; for extraction according to Folch et al. and Soxhlet extraction with hydrolysis according to SIST ISO 1443. Folch extraction underestimated IMF content compared to Soxhlet extraction with hydrolisis (-0.32%, P<0.0001). Similar repeatability was obtained for Folch and Soxhlet extraction with hydrolysis (0.17% and 0.18%, respectively, P<0.0001). Sample spectra were scanned from 400-2500 nm by the NIR Systems model 6500 spectrophotometer (Silver Spring, MD, USA) and analysed by WinISI II on minced and intact (pork only) samples. Modified partial least squares regression was used to develop models and to obtain calibration statistics: coefficient of determination in calibration (R2c) and cross-validation (R2cv) and standard error in calibration (SEC) and cross-validation (SECV). We prepared different models (for a single muscle/common, by applying NIR spectrum or the whole spectrum, on intact and minced samples). Obtained models proved the remarkable prediction ability of NIR spectroscopy to determine IMF content (R2cv between 0.84 and 0.99; SECV between 0.14% and 0.53%) and confirms the potential of NIR spectroscopy to replace laborious chemical procedures. Regarding the factors studied, calibrations were less accurate for intact than for minced samples; the use of a NIR spectrum compared to the whole spectrum had no important effect on the prediction ability. According to calibration statistics, the prediction using a common equation for several muscles seems more reliable than the equations within the muscle, but the latter showed lower bias.
