Abstract:

Beef quality detection plays an important role in production, processing and consumption of beef. This review introduced the characteristics, advantages, limits, potential and precent status of three detection technologies of beef quality: Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and machine vision, and mainly disscussed the progress on measurement of color, marbling, texture and physiological maturity of beef by using machine vision technique. It was pointed out that machine vision technique was considered as the future trend for detection of beef quality.

Key words: beef, quality, NIR, machine vision, detection
