Įlectronic noses, which have already been tested considerably in various fields, provide a rapid and predictive response and represent a valid support compared to the traditional more time-consuming laboratory methods. The development of new technologies applicable at the different steps of the food supply chain can thus offer significant advantages not only for food business operators. There are several reasons for food waste in the fishing industry, including (i) losses in primary fish and seafood production due to discard rates of marine catches, (ii) a large proportion of purchased fish and seafood wasted by consumer households, and (iii) high distribution losses due to deterioration during fresh fish and seafood distribution. The FAO estimates that 30% of all the fish and seafood produced in the Europe was lost or wasted in 2009. The consumption of cod has increased by 9% since 2013. The main commercial fish species consumed in the EU are tuna (2.58 kg/capita), cod (2.40 kg/capita), and salmon (2.09 kg/capita). Meat and animal proteins (excluding fish and seafood) represented 52% of the total, while vegetal proteins (43.4 grams per capita per day) covered 41%. In the EU, the 2011 per capita consumption of protein from fish and seafood was 6.6 grams per day, covering 7% of the total protein intake. IntroductionĪquatic products (mainly fish, aquatic molluscs, and crustaceans) have a critical role in the food system, providing nearly 3 billion people with at least 15% of their animal protein intake. Our simulation results confirmed good performance in both methods.

The ANOVA results also confirmed a good agreement between FOODsniffer, TVB-N ( F = 519.9, ), and PEN3 ( F = 143.17, ). A significant correlation was shown between PEN3, first component, and TVB-N ( r = 0.92, ). Principal component analysis (PCA) and Pearson’s correlation were performed in order to compare PEN3 with TVB-N, and for the FOODsniffer evaluation, a one-way ANOVA was carried out. In order to test the performance of PEN3 and FOODsniffer, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) values were considered as the reference. The preliminary study was conducted on cape hake fillets.

This study evaluated the performance of two instrumental measurements of the sensors: an electronic nose (PEN3 WinMuster Airsense Analytics) and a smart portable device (FOODsniffer ARS LAB US). Further advantages include the low cost, the minimal equipment, and nonspecialized personnel required. The new smartphone-based food diagnostic technologies offer significant advantages over traditional methods as they can be easily applied in various steps of the agrifood supply chain including household use and also in the food recovery field for charitable purposes, aimed at helping to reduce food waste.
