An analytical method for measuring the age of animal meat using volatile profiles involves introducing single-phase differential fibers into a container containing heated meat and then desorbing them at the injection port of a gas chromatograph. Scrape the gas and determine its concentration.

摘要

The invention provides a method for verifying the age of an animal providing meat using volatile profiles that comprises the step of providing a sample of animal meat. The method uses one or more chemical analyzes to obtain a profile of a set of volatile organic compounds from a sample of meat from an animal. The profile is fit to a mathematically discriminating function resulting. The data obtained is analyzed in order to establish a correlation between the age of the animal (tooth development) and volatiles exuded by meat.
