Here, an in-line near-infrared spectroscopy/micro-electro-mechanical-system-(MEMS)-based approach, combined with multivariate data analysis, was used for measuring the constituents fat, protein, water, and salt in meat pastes within a typical range of meat paste recipes. The meat pastes were spectroscopically characterized in-line with a novel process analyzer prototype. By integrating salt content in the calibration set, robust predictive PLSR models of high accuracy (R2 > 0.81) were obtained that take interfering matrix effects of the minor and NIR-inactive meat paste recipe component “salt” into account as well. The nonlinear blending behavior of salt concentration on the spectral features of meat pastes is discussed based on a designed mixture experiment with four systematically varied components.
