Abstract

One of the major concerns in the meat processing industry is the loss of emulsion stability resulting in cooking losses. An optical sensor technology to control the emulsification process would minimize this problem. The normalized light intensity (I_N) as a function of fat/lean ratio (R_FL; 0.075, 0.25, 0.33) and chopping time (CT; 2, 5, 8 min) were measured at three radial distances (2, 2.5, 3 mm) from the light source to calculate the optical density (OD) and the loss of intensity (I_Loss), using a fiber optic spectrometer. ANOVA results were highly significant for I_N, I_Loss. Normalized intensity decreased with increased chopping time as a result of emulsion homogenization, and with increased distance. Chopping time had a positive correlation with fat losses during cooking, which in turn had a negative correlation with I_N and I_Loss. These results suggest that light extinction spectroscopy could provide information about emulsion stability.
