Thanks all for your posts. We are in contact with the group in Norway doing NIR - that has mainly been with salmon. Glycogen is found in abalone in concentrations between 1 to 30 % of the dry weight, so I think this is a good candidate for NIRS. | ||

Dear Brown! I donot think there is any problem in finding moisture content with NIRS. Regarding glycogein Can you elabrate more about glycogen . The abalone varation could be look in Multivaraite Analaysis model. | ||

You might get in touch with Dr Ana Garrido in Spain, as she has done similar work with live Iberian pigs. | ||

I don't know if they look at abalone directly but there is a facility in Norway that is doing similar studies, at least that is what I remember. I don't know the name of the facility but it probably is a state-run one. Bruce | ||

Hi all, I'm relatively new to NIR analysis. I currently have a project looking at the feasibility of using NIR to looking at quality of live abalone (eg. moisture content, glycogen etc). Does anybody know of others that might be working in this area, or applied NIRS to similar product (eg. live). One of the problems I foresee, is that taking abalone out of water will (does) stress them, so that live abalone muscle may be in varying states of contraction/relation (i.e. variability) during the scanning process. |
