Use of Electronic Nose and Tongue to Track Freshness of Cherry Tomatoes Squeezed for Juice Consumption: Comparison of Different Sensor Fusion Approaches
Food and bioprocess technology(2014)
摘要
Fruits freshness is relatively easy to authenticate from their morphological characteristics while the act of processing fruits into juices makes it difficult to track/identify their freshness. Eight datasets, extracted from an e-nose and an e-tongue, and six sensor fusion approaches using both instruments, were applied to detect 100 % juices squeezed from cherry tomatoes with different post-harvest storage times (ST). Discrimination of the juices was mainly performed by canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) and library support vector machines (Lib-SVM). Tracking and prediction of physicochemical qualities (pH, soluble solids content (SSC), Vitamin C (VC), and firmness) of the fruit were performed using principle components regression (PCR). All eight datasets presented good classification results with classifiers trained by e-tongue dataset and fusion dataset 2 (stepwise selection) presented the best classification performances. Though quality regression models trained by either e-nose or e-tongue dataset were not robustness enough, sensor fusion approaches make it possible to build more robust prediction models that can correctly predict quality indices for a totally new juice sample. This study indicates the potential for tracking quality/freshness of fruit squeezed for juice consumption using the e-nose and e-tongue, and that sensor fusion approach would be better than individual utilization only if proper fusion approaches are used.
