Evaluation of fresh juice of strawberries at different degrees of ripeness using electronic nose and electronic tongue by GAO Li-ping, WANG Jun, CUI Shao-qing

“…At present, research in fresh fruit juice using e-nose and e-tongue is still in the preliminary stage, and they have not been found in the fresh strawberry juice evaluation.In this study, an e-nose and an e-tongue were employed to detect the fresh juice of strawberries at different degrees of ripeness. Data were analyzed with three pattern recognition techniques: principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and partial least square (PLS).The results showed that the fresh juice of strawberries at different degrees of ripeness could well be discriminated by PCA and LDA, and the result from e-tongue and e-nose was proved to be superior to that of e-nose only for classifying the samples. …”
