METHOD FOR DETECTING SLAUGHTERED OR NONSLAUGHTERED CIDCKEN MEAT USING CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT

Now days, chickens are used for daily meals of most consumers. Demand of
the slaughtered chicken meat is very good and yet, there is no intelligent device to
help them to differentiate between the slaughtered and non-slaughtered chicken meat
in the market. Therefore, the purposes of this project are to determine the values of
blood's capacitance for respective applied frequency, to do simulations on RC circuit
and to come out with the prototype to differentiate between slaughtered and nonslaughtered
chicken meat using the capacitance measurement technique. In order to
achieve the desired outcome, capacitor construction is designed and tested in RC
circuit (series connection). The slaughtered and non-slaughtered chicken meat was
used as the dielectric medium of the capacitor in the RC circuit. The different values
of dielectric constant value were obtained due to variation of the dielectric medium of
the meat as capacitor.
