The use of multivariate data analysis techniques for identification of objective quality criteria for minimally processed leek stored under modified atmosphere.

Author(s) : KETELEER A., MULDER C. de, HERMANS A., TOBBACK P.

Summary

Since quality loss of minimally processed leek stored at low temperature and under modified atmosphere is caused by several deterioration processes, each affecting one or more sensory quality aspects of the product, description of the quality evolution of the material asks for a multidimensional approach. Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to describe the sensory quality of minimally processed leek stored under a range of modified atmospheres. Next to this several physiological and microbiological parameters related to the deterioration processes were followed during storage. It was found that under the range of conditions tested mainly two types of deterioration occurred and that at least three physiological measurements were necessary to distinguish between material of different sensory quality.
