Book Part Citation - Scopus: 6Quality Assessment of Aquatic Foods by Machine Vision, Electronic Nose, and Electronic Tongue(Wiley, 2010) Korel, Figen; Balaban, Murat ÖmerThe increase in demand for seafood products has catalyzed the desire for higher standards regarding safety and quality issues. Since seafoods are perishable, freshness is a major quality parameter to be considered [1,2]. There is no unique freshness or spoilage indicator for seafood, therefore combinations of selected indicators need to be used to evaluate freshness [3,4]. An important and widely used method to determine freshness is sensory evaluation [5]. The Quality Index Method (QIM) uses a demerit point scoring system [6] based on the evaluation of the important sensory attributes (odour, texture, and appearance) of fish and other aquatic foods. The sensory quality is expressed by the sum of the demerit points, and a linear correlation between these points and the storage time is used to predict the freshness of the target seafood [5,7,8]. The QIM has been developed for various seafood species and products, such as Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus), horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) [9], gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) [10], farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) [11,12], and cod (Gadus morhua) [13], etc. Even though QIM is fast and reliable in determining the freshness of seafood, it still requires experts to evaluate the quality attributes. Alternatively, appearance, odour, and taste can be measured by machine vision system (MVS), electronic nose (e-nose), and electronic tongue (e-tongue), respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Chemometric Analysis of Chemo-Optical Data for the Assessment of Olive Oil Blended With Hazelnut Oil(Stazione Sperimentale per le Industrie, 2019) Kadiroğlu, Pınar; Korel, Figen; Pardo, MatteoThe main objective of this study was to determine different hazelnut oil concentrations in extra virgin olive oil (EV00) belonging to different geographical regions inside Turkey using the combination of a SAW sensor based electronic nose (e-nose) and a machine vision system (MVS). We leveraged the oil characterisation given by the two easy-to-use and complementary experimental techniques through the adoption of conventional PCA for data exploration and random forests (RF) for supervised learning. The e-nose/MVS combination allows significantly better results both in adulteration detection independently of EVOO's geographical provenance and in EVO0 geographical provenance determination, independently of the adulteration level, with respect to the single characterisation method. RF analysis also produces feature ranking, permitting to shed light on which oils' characteristics influence the learning result. We found that EV00 geographical provenance discrimination is mainly due to yellowness and guaiacol content, while (E)-2-hexenal chiefly determines the prediction of the hazelnut level.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Chemometric Studies on Znose™ and Machine Vision Technologies for Discrimination of Commercial Extra Virgin Olive Oils(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015) Kadiroğlu, Pınar; Korel, FigenThe aim of this study was to classify Turkish commercial extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) samples according to geographical origins by using surface acoustic wave sensing electronic nose (zNose™) and machine vision system (MVS) analyses in combination with chemometric approaches. EVOO samples obtained from north and south Aegean region were used in the study. The data analyses were performed with principal component analysis class models, partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Based on the zNose™ analysis, it was found that EVOO aroma profiles could be discriminated successfully according to geographical origin of the samples with the aid of the PLS-DA method. Color analysis was conducted as an additional sensory quality parameter that is preferred by the consumers. The results of HCA and PLS-DA methods demonstrated that color measurement alone was not an effective discriminative factor for classification of EVOO. However, PLS-DA and HCA methods provided clear differentiation among the EVOO samples in terms of electronic nose and color measurements. This study is significant from the point of evaluating the potential of zNose™ in combination with MVS as a rapid method for the classification of geographically different EVOO produced in industry.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Classification of Turkish Extra Virgin Olive Oils by a Saw Detector Electronic Nose(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2011) Kadiroğlu, Pınar; Korel, Figen; Tokatlı, FigenAn electronic nose (e-nose), in combination with chemometrics, has been used to classify the cultivar, harvest year, and geographical origin of economically important Turkish extra virgin olive oils. The aroma fingerprints of the eight different olive oil samples [Memecik (M), Erkence (E), Gemlik (G), Ayvalik (A), Domat (D), Nizip (N), Gemlik-Edremit (GE), Ayvalik-Edremit (AE)] were obtained using an e-nose consisting a surface acoustic wave detector. Data were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant function analysis (DFA). Classification of cultivars using PCA revealed that A class model was correctly discriminated from N in two harvest years. The DFA classified 100 and 97% of the samples correctly according to the cultivar in the 1st and 2nd harvest years, respectively. Successful separation among the harvest years and geographical origins were obtained. Sensory analyses were performed for determining the differences in the geographical origin of the olive oils and the preferences of the panelists. The panelists could not detect the differences among olive oils from two different regions. The cultivar, harvest year, and geographical origin of extra virgin olive oils could be discriminated successfully by the e-nose.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 40Flavour of Natural and Roasted Turkish Hazelnut Varieties (corylus Avellana L.) by Descriptive Sensory Analysis, Electronic Nose and Chemometrics(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2012) Alasalvar, Cesarettin; Pelvan, Ebru; Bahar, Banu; Korel, Figen; Ölmez, HülyaA total of eighteen natural and roasted hazelnut varieties (amongst which only Tombul variety is classified as prime quality), grown in the Giresun province of Turkey, were compared for their differences in descriptive sensory analysis (DSA), electronic nose (e-nose) data and chemometrics. Differences in some descriptive of DSA between natural and roasted hazelnuts as well as within the varieties were observed. Although Tombul hazelnut was selected as one of the best varieties in terms of flavour attributes and received the highest intensities in general, no significant differences (P>0.05) existed among hazelnut varieties except in certain flavour attributes ('after taste' and 'nutty'). DSA and e-nose data of natural and roasted hazelnuts were also evaluated for discrimination using principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis. Results of PCA using e-nose data showed that extracted principal components explained 99.7% and 99.8% of the total variance of the data for natural and roasted hazelnut varieties, respectively. Both DSA and e-nose can be used for discrimination of natural and roasted hazelnuts. © 2011 The Authors.

Headless shell-on pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) were treated with bleach (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 ppm), phosphates (0, 2, 4 and 6% w/v) and sulfites (0, 0.75, 1.25 and 2% w/v) and stored at 2°C for 48 hours. Odors were evaluated by sensory panels and an electronic nose. Aerobic plate counts were performed. Discriminant function analysis was used as the pattern recognition technique to differentiate samples based on odors. Results showed that the electronic nose could discriminate differences in odor due to chemicals present in shrimp. The correct classification rates for bleach, phosphate and sulfite treated shrimp were 92.7, 95.8, and 99.2%, respectively.
