Raman spectroscopy for estimation of residual bone minerals in mechanically deboned chicken meat
Residual bone, measured as %calcium or %ash, is a strictly controlled quality parameter of mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM). Raman spectroscopy was developed as a rapid tool for estimation of this important parameter. Mechanical deboning is a process where protein-reach mince is optimally recovered from animal carcasses. This process typically involves grinding of carcasses to
