Evaluation of lipid oxidation of Chinese-style sausage during processing and storage based on electronic nose

摘要

A portable electronic nose was used for extracting flavour fingerprint map of Chinese-style sausage during processing and storage, in parallel with detection of acid value (AV) and peroxide value (POV) for evaluating lipid oxidation. Sausage samples during processing and storage were divided into three and five quality phases, respectively. After comparison of sensors response to lipid oxidation, optimal sensor array was determined. Several classification and regression models were developed to classify samples into their respective quality phase and predict lipid oxidation using full and optimal sensor array. Results indicated classification accuracy for sausage samples were, respectively, above 95% and 82% during the processing and storage. For support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) regression models, good performance in predicting AV and POV were obtained, with the coefficients of determination (R~2s) > 0.914 and 0.814 during processing and storage, respectively. Thus, E-nose demonstrated acceptable feasibility in evaluating the degree of lipid oxidation of Chinese-style sausage during processing and storage.
