Discrimination of different type of meats using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy and chemometric techniques

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an analytical technique used for the identification of elements by analysing the emission line spectrum from samples. In this research, the possibility of classification of raw meat species based on emission spectra by using laser induced breakdown spec...
