Biological tissues are optically inhomogeneous and absorbent materials. They are comprised of various structures such as cells, cell organelles, and various fiber structures. Due to these structures leads to different interactions with the light and phenomena such as absorption, scattering and polarization of light. Different ultrasonic, electromagnetic, electrical and optical methods are used for meat ageing detection. Muscles are turbid anisotropic media, they exhibit changes in electrical and optical properties according to the direction of the electrical and optical fields in the sample. The diploma work assesses the feasibility of impedance measurements for meat ageing detection and their comparison with optical measurement of scattered polarized light. Two different sample were used: pork chop slices and chicken breasts were used for their relative homogeneity. The electrical method is a promising method due to the possibility of getting much information and realizing cheap and fast enough measurement systems. The proposed optical method allows measure the rotation of polarization plane with meat ageing in the range of 95 degrees within considered period. Through the first promising results obtained in this thesis, a further work has to be provided to determine closer relationship between optical scattering characteristics, electrical anisotropy in ageing-related tissue structural properties.
