An electronic nose based system, which employs an array of six inexpensive commercial gas sensors based on tin dioxide (Figaro Engineering Inc., Japan), has been used to analyse the freshness states of anchovies. Fresh anchovies were stored in a refrigerator at 4 ± 1°C over a period of 15 days. Electronic nose measurements need no sample preparation and the results indicated that the spoilage process of anchovies could be followed by using this technique. Conductance responses of volatile compounds produced during storage of anchovy were monitored and the result were analysed by multivariate analysis methods. In this paper principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to investigate whether the electronic nose was able to distinguishing among different freshness states (fresh, moderated and non-fresh samples). The loadings analysis was used to identify the sensors responsible for discrimination in the current pattern file. Therefore, the support vector machines (SVM) method was applied to the new subset, with only the selected sensors, to confirm that a subset of a few sensors can be chosen to explain all the variance. The results obtained prove that the electronic nose can discriminate successfully different freshness state using LDA analysis. Some sensors have the highest influence in the current pattern file for electronic nose. Support vector machine (SVM) model, applied to the new subset of sensors show the good performance.References
