An objective marbling scale for consistent grading
ChallengeMarbling was assessed by eye, subjectively and without a consistent scale. This led to grade disputes, lost margins on premium raw materials and difficulty standardising sorting.
ApproachOptical analysis of the ribeye, a cross-section of the longissimus dorsi muscle. Our model measures the proportion of fat inclusions and assigns one of five grades. The method was independently validated against laboratory fat measurements at a food systems research institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Edge inference powers a mobile intake application and a fixed scanner on the line.
ResultAn objective five-grade marbling scale with sorting rules. Correspondence with laboratory fat measurements supports premium sorting. Industry research links the optimal marbling grade, rather than the fattiest cut, to the highest purchase intent.
