Optimisation of a multi gas-sensor system, training of the artificial neural network and use of the electronic nose system for quality assessment of whiting (Merlangius merlangus).

Summary

Results of the optimisation experiments and testing the ability of the system for quality assessment of whiting are presented in the paper. After the most appropriate set of metal oxide gas sensors was chosen, the influence of flow rate, head space temperature, sample weight and head space generation time on gas sensor responses were investigated. Optimal experimental parameters were selected in order to standardise further fish experiments with this system. The signal pattern from the sensors is collected by a computer and further processed by an artificial neural network (ANN). Before the electronic nose system could be used for quality classification of fish samples, the ANN had to be trained.
