    Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI)

    • Demonstrated effectiveness in analyzing texture profiles and predicting Kramer shear force in Farmed Atlantic Salmon.
    • Benefits from fast and accurate assessments, but similar to VIS/NIR, it faces high costs and limited research.

    Metabolism in Fish Muscle

    • Breakdown of nucleotides affects fish quality through autolysis and microbial growth, leading to deterioration.
    • Nucleotide degrading enzymes such as adenosine triphosphatases are crucial in this process.

    Spectroscopy Applications

    • Effective in determining water content in various fish species including cod, sardine, salmon, and abalone.
    • Operates in the spectral region of 760–1040 nm for quality parameter assessments.
    • However, the method is costly and not universally applicable, struggling to detect early microbial spoilage.

    Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) and Gas Chromatography

    • Headspace analysis successfully identified 24 spoilage markers, aiding in food safety.
    • Provides crucial insights into food quality based on spoilage indicators.

    Importance of Automated Techniques in Fish Processing

    • Hyper Spectral Imaging (HIS) enhances freshness quality prediction while monitoring autolysis and microbial changes in fish samples.
    • HIS shows promising matches with readings from Minolta colorimeters for irradiated Atlantic salmon, indicating its efficacy.
    • The method is non-destructive, fast, and sensitive but requires high precision, which can lead to high costs.

    Global Fish Production and Consumption

    • In 2016, global fish production reached 171 million tonnes, with aquaculture contributing 47%.
    • Human consumption of fish increased from 130 million tonnes in 2011 to 151 million tonnes in 2016, while non-food uses decreased from 24 million tonnes to 19.7 million tonnes.
    • Asia accounts for 85% of the world’s fish farming, emphasizing its dominance in the aquaculture industry.
    • Fish is categorized into oily fish, white fish, and shellfish, with oily fish being rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.

    Nutritional Benefits of Fish

    • Fish provides essential nutrients vital for health, including proteins, vitamins A, D, and E.
    • Omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish support brain health and eye function.

    Freshness Assessment Techniques

    • Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) offers quick determination of fish freshness using nucleotides elution as a freshness index.
    • Chemical indicators like trimethylamine (TMA) reveal fish spoilage and foul odor associated with bacterial infections.

    Impact of Storage on Fish Quality

    • Storage conditions affect the development of total volatile bases, including ammonia and TMA, contributing to spoilage.
    • Trimethylamine is linked to spoilage, correlating directly with the fishy smell as a result of decomposition.

    Other Measurement Methods

    • K-value is derived from ATP breakdown products and indicates fish freshness; it reveals spoilage by measuring the concentration of breakdown indicators during storage.
    • Short wavelength near-infrared (SW-NIR) spectroscopy is utilized for moisture determination in fish and can also be integrated with regression techniques for analyzing freshness.

    Limitations of Current Techniques

    • Current methods may not accurately detect initial spoilage stages, particularly with electronic noses (e-noses) that are limited in analyte detection.
    • Many freshness assessment techniques are costly or require advanced technology preventing widespread application in fish processing.

    Optimized Wavelength and Prediction Precision

    • Ongoing research aims to improve the precision of wavelength selection for Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI).
    • External factors significantly impact the accuracy of prediction in machine vision systems.

    Freshness and Sensory Evaluation

    • Studies reveal a strong correlation between freshness in irradiated Atlantic Salmon and color metrics from machine vision using the Roche color card.
    • Freshness is often linked to Total Volatile Bases (TVB-N) levels; values exceeding 10 mg TVB-N per 100 g indicate degradation.

    Acceptability Limits for TVB-N

    • Research indicates the acceptable TVB-N limit for filleted fish is approximately 26.77 mg N per 100 g.
    • Freshness deterioration in fish is directly related to escalating TVB-N values.

    Electrochemical Biosensors

    • Electrochemical biosensors can detect ammonia gases (NH3, TMA, DMA) in raw fish within 60 seconds.
    • These sensors have shown a strong correlation with traditional TVB-N analytical results, demonstrating their efficiency and effectiveness.

    Total Viable Count (TVC) Index

    • The TVC index identifies freshness levels in aquatic animals, typically indicating fresh fish through counts of 10 - 10 CFU/g.
    • While practical for various aquatic products, this method is time-consuming and potentially destructive.

    Trimethylamine (TMA) and Fish Spoilage

    • TMA is central to the fishy odor in spoiled fish, primarily produced from bacterial activity on choline in fish.
    • Lipid oxidation during fish storage leads to the formation of spoilage indicators like ammonia and TMA.

    K-Value as Freshness Indicator

    • The K-value, derived from ATP breakdown products, serves as an important measure of fish freshness post-catch.
    • Fish spoil rapidly in warm climates; spoilage begins within 12 hours due to enzymatic and bacterial activity.

    Chemical Indicators of Freshness

    • TMAO in marine fish is converted to TMA by bacteria, signifying spoilage.
    • Gas-sensitive hybrid gel materials have been developed to monitor fish spoilage through optical signals related to microbial changes over time.

    Conclusion on Fish Spoilage Mechanisms

    • The spoilage process involves simultaneous breakdown and formation of compounds post-catch, significantly influenced by temperature and handling practices.
    • Understanding these indicators is crucial for maintaining seafood quality and ensuring consumer safety.
