Investigation of light propagation in pork tissue applied in multispectral imaging technique by Monte Carlo simulation method

Abstract

Despite the limited knowledge of light propagation in foods, optical techniques are becoming more common in the evaluation of food quality. Using the Monte Carlo technique, we model light propagation in pork tissue in this research. Since then, researchers have been examining how light moves through pork tissue and how multispectral imaging methods may use this information. Light can penetrate deep into the food tissue in the range of wavelength examined in this paper. The purpose of this study is to simulate the signal reception, select the appropriate wavelengths and the signal acquisition mode. The simulation results offer a general structure for system design and the creation of optically based food quality assessment tools.
