  • Process for optically determining the meat-to-lard-ratio in for instance slaughtered animals
    Patent number: 4439037
    Abstract: By a process for optically determining the meat-to-lard-ratio in for instance slaughtered animals, a probe is inserted perpendicular to the surface of the animal. This probe (7) comprises at least two light fibres (1, 2) opening on to the surface of the probe and communicating at the opposite end with means for transmitting and receiving red light of a predetermined wave length. The signals received are measured relative to a reference value automatically determined as the mean value of the lowest reflection values. This process is so sensitive that even the degree of marbling may be measured.
