A triangle study of human evaluation test, instrumental analysis (GC-MS) and olfactory receptor/CNT bioelectronic nose for exploring non-destructive sensing of seafood freshness. The sensory evaluation test was performed by 15 trained panelists focusing on appearance, flavor, taste, texture and acceptability of raw oyster. For the instrumental analysis, the gas samples from the headspace of vials containing oysters were injected to the GC-MS system. Using the bioelectronic nose, a specific odorant molecule, TMA generated in the oyster undergoing the deterioration process was selectively detected through its binding to the receptor protein peptide.
