http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/02/500x_infrabeef.jpgTwo teams of Japanese researchers have been using infrared cameras to detect Oleic acid (which signals the presence of tasty, tender omega-9 fatty acids) in Hida-gyu beef. In a recent trial, 14 out of 24 experienced beef experts confirmed that beef determined to be of higher quality through infrared photography testing really was. Now, the team hopes to refine their process so that it's more accurate, while I hope whatever they discover can squeeze into a modded iPhone and correlating app. [Examiner (http://www.examiner.com/x-16352-Japan-Headlines-Examiner~y2010m1d31-Researchers-use-infrared-cameras-to-determine-taste-quality-of-Japanese-beef) via Switched (http://www.switched.com/2010/02/01/steak-selecting-infrared-cell-phone-camera-will-rate-your-meat/) via Picturephoning (http://www.textually.org/picturephoning/archives/2010/02/025397.htm)][Image by Conny Lundgren (http://www.flickr.com/photos/connylundgren/3636478889/)]
