Study on the Diffusion and Optimization of Sucrose in Gaido Seak Based on Finite Element Analysis and Hyperspectral Imaging Technology

As a traditional Chinese dish cutting technology process, Gaidao artificially create cuts embedded in the food surface by cutting through it with knife, a process that currently plays an important role in the beef marinating process. And different Gaidao processes directly affect the beef marination flavour and marination efficiency. This study is the first to propose the use of Hyperspectral imaging technology (HSI) combined with finite element analysis to investigate the effect of Gaidao process on the quality of marinated beef. The study was carried out by collecting spectral information of beef marinated with different sucrose concentrations and combining various pre-processing methods and algorithms such as PLS, BiPLS, iPLS, and SiPLS to establish a quantitative model of sucrose concentration in beef, and finally optimizing parameters such as the length, position and number of Gaidao by Finite Element Analysis (FEA), which showed that when marinated with 1.0 mol/m(3) sucrose solution, the concentration of sucrose in all tissues in the Gaidao steak reached 0.8 mol/m(3) and above, which greatly improved the diffusion effect of the marinade. This work provides new ideas and methods to optimize the beef marinade Gaidao process, which has important practical value and research significance.
