RADIATION DETECTOR
OF FAT IN MEAT
The Agricultural Market
ing Service has installed at
Beltsville a device that
measures the lean and fat
content in meat. It counts
gamma ray emissions that
come naturally from the iso
tope potassium-40, which has
always been present in min
ute amounts in animal tissue
Since most of this isotope oc
curs in muscle tissue instead
of fat, the number of impul
ses sent out gives an accur
ate measurement of the pro
portion of fat to lean meat
AMS is using the radiation
detector in its work of es
tablishing more objective
measurements of quality in
food. AMS officials say the
device could be modified for
meat industry use so it would
reject automatically any
piece of meat that had too
much fat to be included in
a given grade. They also say
it could be modified to meas
ure fat in live animals,
which would help breeders
select the most desirable
animals.
