Performance Of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy In Pork Shoulder As A Predictor For Pork Belly Softness
Canadian Journal of Animal Science(2021)
Abstract
Pork belly quality indicators are economically relevant in the pork industry. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy of the pork shoulder outer subcutaneous fat layer, belly flop angle, and subjective softness scores of the pork belly were measured (N = 144) to determine the accuracy of pork shoulder NIR spectroscopy as a predictor of pork belly softness. The NIR spectra hot carcass estimates explained over 80.0% variability in pork belly softness (80.5%-90.8%), with low prediction error, suggesting that NIR spectroscopy measured in the pork shoulder is an efficient and accurate indicator of pork belly softness to classify pork bellies for specific market demands.
