In the last decade, there has been a significant development in rapid, non-destructive and non-invasive techniques to evaluate carcass composition and meat quality of meat species. This article aims to review the recent technological advances of non-destructive and non-invasive techniques to provide objective data to evaluate carcass composition and quality traits of sheep and goat meat. We highlight imaging and spectroscopy techniques and practical aspects, such as accuracy, reliability, cost, portability, speed and ease of use. For the imaging techniques, recent improvements in the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to assess sheep and goat carcass and meat quality will be addressed. Optical technologies are gaining importance for monitoring and evaluating the quality and safety of carcasses and meat and, among them, those that deserve more attention are visible and infrared reflectance spectroscopy, hyperspectral imagery and Raman spectroscopy. In this work, advances in research involving these techniques in their application to sheep and goats are presented and discussed. In recent years, there has been substantial investment and research in fast, non-destructive and easy-to-use technology to raise the standards of quality and food safety in all stages of sheep and goat meat production.
在过去十年中，用于评估肉类动物胴体组成和肉质的快速、无损和非侵入性技术有了显著发展。本文旨在综述非破坏性和非侵入性技术的最新技术进展，以提供客观数据来评估绵羊和山羊肉的胴体组成和品质特征。我们重点介绍成像和光谱技术以及实际方面，如准确性、可靠性、成本、便携性、速度和易用性。对于成像技术，将讨论双能X射线吸收法、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像在评估绵羊和山羊胴体及肉质方面的最新改进。光学技术在监测和评估胴体和肉类的质量与安全方面正变得越来越重要，其中，值得更多关注的是可见和近红外反射光谱、高光谱成像和拉曼光谱。在这项工作中，将介绍和讨论涉及这些技术在绵羊和山羊应用方面的研究进展。近年来，在快速、无损且易于使用的技术方面进行了大量投资和研究，以提高绵羊和山羊肉生产各阶段的质量和食品安全标准。
