The main goal of the project was to develop and evaluate a system/demonstrator that can be used for on-line non-invasive determination of fat and carotenoid concentration in whole salmon, both live and slaughtered. The system was based on visible and near-infrared spectroscopy. The system was built and tested on a large amount of salmon. Determination of fat content worked well with satisfactory accuracy, while pigment was more difficult to measure due to the optical barrier of the skin. Goals: (1) Determine the optical properties of skin, dark muscle and pink muscle, and how they vary from live fish through slaughter and rigor; (2) Define and evaluate promising optical setups for non-invasive measurements on whole fish; (3) Design and construct an instrument for test trials on whole fish; (4) Calibrate, test and evaluate the system with regard to the companies' needs; (5) Produce and publish new knowledge on spectroscopic assessment of carotenoid, sensory colour, and fat content in complex and highly light scattering tissues of salmon at different stages ranging from live fish through slaughter and rigor.
