    A mathematical method of measurement of a color component intensity in a digital image and its use for histological investigation of samples of meat products is discussed in this contribution. We focus mainly on identication and consecutive analysis of bone fragments in mechanically separated meat.

    Histological methods are based on simple principles, however, they require some experience. These are usually qualitative methods, but they enable a quantitative evaluation, too. the aim of the present study was to compare several methods of quantitative histological analysis of plant origin components in model samples. The results demonstrated that it is possible to determine the content of ingredients relatively accurately, in particular when using image analysis and targeted staining methods.

    Generally speaking, mechanically recovered meat is relativly non-standard raw material. At present, milder production technologies are used, and the product obtained usually has a low czlcium (bone) content an its structure is similar to that of minced meat. In the present study, histological examinations (Green Trichrome and Alizarine Red staining) were used to qualitatively and semi-quantitatively compare samples of mechanically recovered meat (MRM) manufactured under different conditions. The examination was focused on the evaluation of muscles, fat, collagennous connective tissue and bone fragment contents by histological as well as chemical methods.

    Model cheese samples from 4 independent productions were heat sterilized (117 C, 20 minutes), after the melting process and packing with an aim to prolong their durability. The objective of the, study was to assess changes in the size and shape of fat globules due to heat sterilization by using, image analysis methods. The study included a selection of suitable methods of preparation mounts,, taking microphotographs and making overlays for automatic processing of photographs by image, analyser, ascertaining parameters to determine the size and shape of fat globules and statistical, analysis of results obtained.
