PRECONDITIONS FOR THE CREATION OF A MEAT FRESHNESS CONTROL AND IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
The relevance of creating a comprehensive system for meat control and identification to determine its freshness level has been demonstrated in the study. The drawbacks of traditional organoleptic and laboratory methods commonly used for meat inspection were analyzed. The authors presented the advantages and challenges of employing an electronic nose. A design for a meat control and identification system was proposed, which includes an Arduino Uno microcontroller, Raspberry Pi, USB to TTL adapter, gas sensors, color sensor, thermal camera, and image sensor.
