Evaluation of fish freshness using volatile compounds: classification of volatile compounds in fish.

Author(s) : Ifremer, FIOM, OLAFSDOTTIR G., FLEURENCE J.

Summary

Volatile compounds contributing to the characteristic odour of fish can be measured to evaluate the freshness of fish. The odour of fresh fish during storage can be classified as species related fresh fish odour, microbial spoilage odour, oxidised odour, processing odour and environmentally derived odour, based on the origin of the volatile compounds and/or based on the different compounds contributing to each odour. This classification of fish odours is useful to facilitate the interpretation of rapid measurements of the total headspace of fish using electronic noses.
