Abstrakt: We are presenting a method for the non-invasive and fast evaluation of meat tenderness. The method involves the scanning of individual meat samples through an x-ray scanner and the analysis of the resulting images. The x-ray scanner was calibrated on laboratory analyzed samples using the Warner-Bratzler shear force determination method. The trial described in this article resulted in favorable outcome both for beef and lamb meat, suggesting that an overarching correlation between certain aspects of x-ray images of meat and their shear force exists.
