Analysis of the polarization characteristics of the scattered radiation of biological tissues in some cases provides a qualitatively new results in the study of biological samples. These results can be used in medicine and food industry. As a result of the work, it was determined that the high concentration of scattering particles, the nonuniformity of their dimensions, forms make the task of creating an adequate optical model of a biotissue quite difficult, though many interesting tissue properties can be potentially studied by means of polarized light. In this case, the method for control the freshness of meat samples is considered for by obtaining the Stokes parameters of the polarized radiation scattered forward by the meat product.
