Abstract:
Driven by economic interests, surimi adulteration has become a high-frequency issue. This study aims to assess the feasibility of gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) in detecting surimi adulteration. In this work, three common adulterated surimi models were established by mixing with different fish species and ratios. The fingerprints enabled a clear discrimination among different tuna surimi, and other two surimi models with different mixing ratios also showed VOCs (volatile organic compounds) differences. Results of unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) and supervised partial least-squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) revealed that different types of adulterated surimi models can be well separated from each other. A total of 12, 16, and 9 VOCs were selected as the potential markers in three simulated models by PLS-DA method, respectively. Therefore, GC-IMS coupled with certain chemometrics is expected to serve as an alternative analytical tool to directly and visually detect adulterated surimi.
