<![CDATA[Food safety is essential for consumers. One of the compound that are prohibited from being used to preserve chicken meat is formalin. It demands a fast classification and sorting process for chicken meat, whether it is processed further or not. The main objective of this research is to develop a model that can predict the formalin content of chicken meat at room temperature using a portable NIR spectrometer. The NIRS method utilizes electromagnetic waves in infrared radiation with wavelengths ranging from 740-1070 nm. The method used to process the data is partial least square discriminative analysis (PLS-DA) to determine the presence of formalin in chicken meat. The results showed that the best pre-treatment was using the 1st derivative which had calibration results with an accuracy value of 92.86%, sensitivity 94.05%, specificity 91.67%, and FPR 8.33%. While the validation results obtained an accuracy value of 92.86%, sensitivity 92.86%, specificity 92.86%, and FPR 7.14%. Keywords: Chicken meat, formalin, NIRS, non-destructive method, PLS-DA.]]>
