Abstract
Optical properties can provide rich information about morphology and structure of tissues. Fresh and frozen muscle tissue samples of goat are investigated using imaging polarimetry to understand its structural nature. The outcomes demonstrate that the muscle tissues lose, to some extent, their integrity and organization on freezing. The fresh tissues offer very small circular retardance as compared to frozen samples. However, linear retardance is the main contributor in fresh muscle samples. Ultimately, linear and circular retardance can be used to differentiate fresh and frozen tissues. These investigations illustrate the capabilities of optical polarimetry for the characterization of muscle tissue structures. Specifically, the structure of biological tissue samples can be differentiated using real-time, cost effective and non-invasive optical polarimetry in the field of meat industry and biomedical diagnosis.
