Abstract
RODRIGUEZ, D.F et al. Assessment of fish freshness with an electronic nose. An. Asoc. Quím. Argent. [online]. 2005, vol.93, n.1-3, pp.99-104. ISSN 0365-0375.
In this work the performance of a prototype of electronic nose, developed in our laboratories, to assess fish freshness is analized. The present study is part of an ongoing project to perform quality assurance protocols for the Argentine fish sector, an increasing demand due to export reasons and new national food control regulations. Fish quality is a complex concept involving a whole range of factors, freshness being one of the most important. The complete quality assessment of fish meat includes information and control of all the steps, from catching area to final consumption. In this work we address one aspect, quality deterioration of "raw fillets" due to frozen storage defects.
