A capacitive discrimination of slaughtered and slaughtered sheep and goat meat

This paper investigates the possibility of differentiating slaughtered and non-slaughtered sheep and goat meat tissue using capacitor. The capacitor designed as two circular parallel plates made from platinum, after putting the meat slice between them an oscilloscope will used to measure the capacitance voltage with different frequencies. Multisim was used to identify output voltage, capacitance, permittivity and conductivity of the meat. From simulation results the capacitance depends on the dielectric property and volume of blood for the meat slice and this lead to change in the output voltage. Also the dielectric properties and output voltage were proposed for slaughtered and non slaughtered animal´s meat at various frequencies.
