The present paper proposed a method based on the hyperspectral technology for rapidly, nondestructively quantify the total plate count on chilled pork surface. In the research, 50 chilled pork samples stored at 4 ℃ for 1-14 days were used to study the relationship between the total plate count on chilled pork surface and their hyperspectral images collected in 400-1 100 nm. Two models were established using MLR and PLSR methods, and the prediction showed that they can both give satisfactory results with Rv=0.886 and 0.863 respectively. The overall research demonstrates that the hyperspectral technology can well quantify the total plate count on chilled pork surface, and so indicates that it is a valid tool to assess the quality and safety properties of chilled pork in the future.
