The effects of incandescent (INC), cool-white fluorescent (FL), and metal halide (MH) light sources on the appearance of medium, lean, and extra lean ground beef meat were investigated. Meat color with INC illumination was preferred (P < 0.05) over that with MH illumination for all meat types, and over FL illumination for extra-lean and medium meats. The majority of the panelists described the meat as red under INC lighting, but brown or dark red under FL and MH lighting. Relative luminance data, collected with a fiber optic probe connected to a photo diode array, demonstrated the reason to be a lack of redness in the FL and MH light sources.

Dark, medium, and light colour frankfurters (no-fat, low-fat, and regular fat level) were evaluated by panellists under incandescent (INC), fluorescent (FL), and metal halide (MH) light sources. INC illumination resulted in a higher colour preference (P < 0.05) for the medium and light products over that of the FL and MH illuminations; no significant difference was seen between FL and MH lighting. The panellists described the medium coloured frankfurters as pink under INC lighting, but more brown under FL and MH illumination. Relative luminance data, collected via a fibre optic probe connected to a photo diode array, demonstrated the reason to be the low red colour seen by the panellists under FL and MH light sources. For the dark colour frankfurters, there was no difference in colour preference scores among the three illumination sources. Key words: Colour, fat, frankfurters, light, meat, sausage, sensory, spectra

Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) fiber probe provides abundant interaction area between light and materials, permits detection within limited space and is especially useful for remote or in situ detection. A silver decorated SERS fiber optic probe was prepared by hydrothermal method. This method manages to accomplish the growth of silver nanoparticles and its adherence on fiber optic tip within one step, simplifying the synthetic procedure. The effects of reaction time on phase composition, surface plasmon resonance property and morphology were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum (UV-VIS absorption spectrum) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that when reaction time is prolonged from 4–8 hours at 180 °C, crystals size and size distribution of silver nanoparticles increase. Furthermore, the morphology, crystal size and distribution density of silver nanoparticles evolve along with reaction time. A growth mechanism based on two factors, equilibrium between nucleation and growth, and the existence of PVP, is hypothesized. The SERS fiber probe can detect rhodamin 6G (R6G) at the concentration of 10−6 M. This SERS fiber probe exhibits promising potential in organic dye and pesticide residue detection.

The cancer field effect (CFE) has been highlighted as one of indirect indications for tissue variations that are insensitive to conventional diagnostic techniques. In this research, we had a hypothesis that chemotherapy for breast cancer would affect skin biochemical compositions that would be reflected by Raman spectral changes. We used a fiber-optic probe-based Raman spectroscopy to perform preliminary animal experiments to validate the hypothesis. Firstly, we verified the probing depth of the fiber-optic probe (~800 μm) using a simple intravenous fat emulsion-filled phantom having a silicon wafer at the bottom inside a cuvette. Then, we obtained Raman spectra during breast cancer treatment by chemotherapy from a small animal model in longitudinal manner. Our results showed that the treatment causes variations of biochemical compositions in the skin. For further validation, the Raman spectra will have to be collected from more populations and spectra will need to be compared with immunohistochemistry of the breast tissue.
