Abstract :
A novel biosensor for inspection of meat in a noninvasive and nondestructive way has been fabricated and developed. The sensor has the planar interdigital structure and the consecutive fingers are connected to positive and negative electrodes, respectively. A novel sensor has been fabricated which provides improved results. The experimental results show the sensors have a great potential to estimate the fat content of meat in a noninvasive and nondestructive way.
