Accuracy and stability improvement for meat species identification using multiplicative scatter correction and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

An efficient method has been developed to identify meat species by using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). To improve the accuracy and stability of meat species identification, multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) was adopted to first pretreat the spectrum for correction of spectrum scatter. Then the corrected spectra were identified by using the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) model.
