Abstract:
This study utilized equivalent umami concentrations (EUC) to characterize umami intensity in salmon with different freeze-thaw times. A rapid and non-destructive method was established to determine EUC values in salmon which is based on hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system combined with multiple characteristic variable screening methods. The established CARS-PLS model showed greater advantages in correlating the reference values of spectral data with EUC in salmon with Rc of 0.9012, Rp of 0.9009, RMSECV of 0.82, and RMSEP of 0.88. The model was employed pixel-wise to visualize the distribution of EUC with different freeze-thaw times, which demonstrated the reduction of EUC value with the increasing of freeze-thaw times. Therefore, this reseearch showed hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system combined with chemometrics possesses a substantial capability to predict and visualize the EUC of salmon, which would provide an intuitive understanding of salmon quality prediction and detection.
