Kinetics Study of Chicken Breast Meat (<i>Pectoralis major</i>) Color Changes Measured Using the TCS 3200 Color Sensor during Storage at Room Temperature

Abstract

Chicken meat has a high nutritional content that makes its freshness rapidly deteriorates. A color change characterized the degradation. Color changes could influence the consumer perception toward food quality. Human perception and evaluation of color are often subjective. Sensors can provide better detection accuracy toward this phenomenon than the human senses. This study aims to determine the change of color attribute of chicken breast meat kinetically and classify meat quality based on color changes during meat storage using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The experiment was performed with equipment consisting of a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and a TCS 3200 color sensor. The meat sample was stored in a dark-colored container along with the sensor for 24 hours storage at room temperature. The measurement was done every hour in three replications. Color data from sensor readings in the frequency form was then converted into RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values and finally to L*, a*, b* values during the experiment. The data obtained was sent to the database for kinetic analysis and quality classification using PCA. It was found that the change of color attribute of Chroma (C), Hue Angle (Ho), Color Difference with True Red (DE), and Color Difference (AE) followed zero-order or first-order kinetics reactions. While from the PCA resulted, two chicken meat quality classes, PC 1, explained 85.4%, and PC 2 explained 12.5%.
