Table 2.

Conducting polymer analysis tests of the capability of the AromaScan A32S e-nose to identify and discriminate between good-flavor vs. off-flavor catfish meat cores.

1

Percentage of catfish meat samples that were correctly identified.

2

Percentage of unknown catfish meat samples for which a percentage match to a single aroma class was not high enough to make a clear identification. Values in parentheses indicate the mean percentage match determined from among all samples placed into this determination category.

3

Percentage of unknown catfish meat samples for which data from the sensor array could not assign a match to any aroma class. Values in parentheses indicate the mean percentage match determined from among all samples placed into this determination category.

4

Mean percentage match of unknown catfish meat core samples to the correct aroma class identity.
