ABSTRACT A Method and an Apparatus for Determining the Degree of Freshness of Pieces of Food By a method of and an apparatus for determing the degree of freshness of fish or other pieces of meat a pair of electrodes of an electrode assembly are brought into contact with the pieces of food, and the degree of freshness is determined electrically by deter- mining the phase angle of the impedance which the tissue of the piece of food in ques- tion represents by inducing an alternating current into the tissue of the piece of food and by determining the delay of the voltage produced by the current in relation to the current. The pieces of food are successively moved along a first path of movement across a supporting surface, in which a first electrode assembly is mounted for measur- ing the degree of freshness of the pieces of food at the first side, whereafter the pieces of food are successively turned upside down and moved along a weighing unit and further along a second path of movement across a supporting surface, in which a second electrode assembly is mounted for measuring the degree of freshness of the other side of the piece of food. On the basis of the measurement of the degree of freshness and the weight of the piece of food in question, the pieces of food are sorted by means of sorting means, which bring the pieces of food to respective containers. The sorting apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a first and a second sup- porting surface along which two measuring assemblies are mounted, a weighing unit, means for turning the pieces of food upside down and sorting means for sorting the pieces of food into respective containers on the basis of the results determined by means of the electrode assemblies and by means of the weighing unit.
