Begam %P 53-58 %X This research investigates the possibility of differentiating slaughtered and non-slaughtered goat meat using capacitor. The use of dielectric spectra to distinguish slaughtered and non-slaughtered meat in goat muscle during postmortem period was evaluated. The changes in dielectric properties during meat ageing were analyzed in terms of permittivity for each meat test. For these purposes, capacitance was measured at various frequencies and postmortem times perpendicular to muscle fiber directions. Significant differences in dielectric properties between slaughtered and non-slaughtered tissue were observed in the results making them suitable parameters for properly slaughtered differentiation. The novelty of this research is to construct advice which is able to distinguish between slaughtered and non-slaughtered meat. © 2011 IEEE. %K Dielectric spectra; Goat meat; Meat ageing; Muscle fiber; Non-slaughtered; Slaughtered, Capacitance; Dielectric properties; Muscle; Permittivity, Meats %D 2011 %R 10.1109/STUDENT.2011.6089324 %O cited By 0; Conference of 2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization Development in Engineering and Technology, STUDENT 2011 ; Conference Date: 20 October 2011 Through 21 October 2011; Conference Code:87821 %L scholars1433 %J 2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization Development in Engineering and Technology, STUDENT 2011
