Abstract In recent years, the quality and safety issues of food have attracted much attention of the whole society in China. Modern inspection techniques are required for rapid and accurate assessment of quality and safety of food products. Hyperspectral imaging is an optical analysis technology with integration of spectroscopy and imaging techniques. By acquiring both spectral and spatial information of food simultaneously, hyperspectral imaging can inspect quality information with spatial distribution of food products rapidly and non-destructively, leading to an overall inspection of external and internal quality attributes. Therefore, hyperspectral imaging is a very promising technique in the safety inspection field of food products. This paper presents the basic principles of hyperspectral imaging and outlines in details its applications in the meat industry.
