Optical Prediction of Water-Holding Capacity

چکیده

The pH of meat has a strong effect on both light scattering (paleness) and water-holding capacity (WHC), using WHC imprecisely as a general term to describe fluid distribution and retention. Light scattering has many attributes in meat (in relation to wavelength, direction and polarization), and is easier to measure on a routine basis than pH. Thus, the indirect correlation of light scattering with WHC may allow us to predict WHC under industrial conditions, but advances in instrumentation are required before rigorous quality control standards can be imposed. The major problem is the non-linearity of pH effects. Predicting WHC is a lot more difficult than merely grading PSE objectively.

decreased water holding capacity are believed to skin barrier dysfunction. It was surprising that we found positive correlation between TEWL and water holding capacity in AD. Conclusions: The results of TEWL and water holding capacity suggest that the barrier function of stratum corneum is impaired in AD patients. On the one hand, further studies should be required to explain the unexpected cor...
