The demand for safe and edible meat has led to the advancement of freeze-storage techniques, but falsely labeled thawed meat remains an issue. Many methods have been proposed for this purpose, but they all destroy the sample and can only be performed in the laboratory by skilled personnel. In this study, hyperspectral image data were used to construct a machine learning (ML) model to discriminate between freshly refrigerated, long-term refrigerated, and thawed beef meat samples. With four pre-processing methods, a total of five datasets were prepared to construct an ML model. The PLS-DA and SVM techniques were used to construct the models, and the performance was highest for the SVM model applying scatter correction and the RBF kernel function. These results suggest that it is possible to construct a prediction model to distinguish between fresh and non-fresh meat using the spectra obtained by purifying hyperspectral image data cubes, which can be a rapid and non-invasive method for routine analyses of the meat storage state.
