Detection of adulteration with duck meat in minced lamb meat by using visible near-infrared hyperspectral imaging.

This paper described a rapid and non-destructive method based on visible near-infrared (Vis-NIR) hyperspectral imaging system (400-1000 nm) for detection adulteration with duck meat in minced lamb. The multiple average of the reference spectral and a predicted relative spatial distribution coefficient were applied in this study to reduce the noise of the spectra. The PLSR model with selected wavelengths achieved better results than others with determination of coefficients (R) of 0.98, and standard error of prediction (RMSEP) of 2.51%. And the prediction map of the duck minced in lamb meat was generated by applying the prediction model. The results of this study indicate the great potential of the hyperspectral technology applying to rapidly and accurately detect the meat adulteration in minced lamb meat.
