Abstract

This study developed principal component analysis and radial basis function neural networks (PCA-RBFNNs) for predicting freshness in tilapia fillets stored at different temperatures by integrating an electronic nose and electronic tongue. Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), total aerobic counts (TAC), and K value increased at 0, 4, 7, and 10 °C, while sensory scores decreased significantly. The electronic nose and tongue acquired the volatiles and dissolved chemical compounds in the stored samples. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) verified the changes in gas species and contents in fillets stored for different periods of time at different temperatures. PCA-RBFNNs based on data fusion were developed and presented good performance for prediction of TVB-N, TAC, K value, and sensory score in tilapia fillets. The established PCA-RBFNNs based on feature variables of the electronic nose and tongue is a promising method to predict changes in the freshness of fillets stored from 0 to 10 °C in the cold chain.
