Abstract
Fat content is an essential component of meat quality. Fat content and fatty tissue content were determined by dual energy X-ray absorption on 3 types of meat: pork meat (mixture of longissimus dorsi and fat) and beef meat ( longissimus dorsi and pectoralis profondus). The measurements were carried out with a medical densitometer, the SOPHOS L-XRA usually used for osteodensitometry. The results from the dual energy X-ray absorption and the chemical analysis were compared and the correlations were good to very good ( R 2 values from 0.7 to 0.97). The residual standard deviations were in the range 2.75–4.89%. The routine use of dual energy X-ray absorption would though suppose a previous calibration.
