The importance of the need of new non-destructive and fast meat analyze methods are increasing day by day. For this, researchers have developed some methods to objectively measure the meat quality and meat safety as well as illness sources. Hyperspectral imaging technique is one of the most popular technology which combines imaging and spectroscopic technology. This technique is a non-destructive, real-time and easy-to-use detection tool for meat quality and safety assessment. It is possible to determine chemical structure and related physical properties of meat. It is clear that hyperspectral imaging technology can be automated for manufacturing in meat industry and all of data‟s obtained from the hyperspectral images which represents the chemical quality parameters of meats in the process can be saved to database. Keywords: non-destructive method, hyperspectral imaging, meat science. COMPARISON OF THIOBARBITURIC ACID LEVEL PREDICTION POWER BETWEEN STATISTICAL AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL-NETWORK MODELS IN GROUND MEAT 1 2 3 4 Hasan Ali AKYÜREK , Hasan İbrahim KOZAN , Barış KOÇER , Cemalettin SARIÇOBAN 1 Necmettin Erbakan University, School of Applied Sciences, Department of Management Information Systems, Selcuklu, Konya, TURKEY e-mail: hakyurek@konya.edu.tr 2 Necmettin Erbakan University, Seydisehir Vocational School, 42090, Seydisehir, Konya, TURKEY 3 Selcuk University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Department of Computer Engineering, Selcuklu, Konya, TURKEY 4 Selcuk University, Agricultural Faculty, Department of Food Engineering, Selcuklu, Konya, TURKEY In this study, it‟s aimed to predict Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) level by processing the data from color parameters of ground meat. A dataset of 600 TBA, L*, a*, b*, Chrome, Hue, Day of Storage and Light Source values obtained from the experimental analysis of ground meat was mined. Five hundred objects were used as the training set and one hundred as the test set in application of artificial neural-network model. The final developed model presented higher performance as R2 = 0.99 (R2 = 0.99 on the training set, R2 = 0.98 on the test set) for the artificial neural-network than statistical model as R2 = 0.91(R2 = 0.92 on the training set, R2 = 0.90 on the test set). Artificial neural network is shown to be a powerful and suitable tool for the prediction of TBA level of ground meat. Keywords: Artificial Neural-Network, Ground Meat, Thiobarbituric Acid, Statistical Model INDIAN INITIATIVES FOR ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION D V Prabhu Department of Chemistry, Wilson College (University of Mumbai) Mumbai 400007 Email: dvprabhu48@gmail.com Society, at large has to realize the gravity of environmental degradation and participate fully in the mitigation of environmental problems. The commitment of the Indian Government to the cause of public awareness of environment conservation is reflected in its outreach and educational programmes involving its ministries, environmental monitoring agencies, NGOs, academic and research institutions. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has played a leading role in the national priority programmes of environmental monitoring, assessment and pollution control. All the stake holders have succeeded to some extent in creating public interest in environmental issues but much more needs to be done. This presentation discusses the Indian initiatives and the important milestones in the path of environmental protection and pollution abatement. 2
