The freshness of beef was analyzed and identified via its volatiles using long optical-path infrared spectroscopy. The spectral characteristics of some compounds, especially ammonia, were observed and demonstrated to have obvious differences between fresh and decayed beef.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
