摘要

This study evaluates the potential of Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) combined with machine learning to achieve accurate, non-destructive assessment of meat freshness. Twenty-four Holstein beef samples were monitored over an eight-day storage period, with physicochemical parameters (color, pH, dry matter, mineral and protein content) and impedance measurements collected across 1–10⁵ Hz. The impedance marker log|Z″| showed a strong correlation with storage duration (R² = 0.83), demonstrating its predictive value for quality degradation. Random forest model without data transformation achieved near-perfect classification of fresh versus stale meat (AUC ≈ 1.0). These findings highlight the promise of integrating EIS with machine learning for real-time, reliable freshness detection and provide a foundation for smart impedimetric sensing technologies in the meat industry.
