Multiple Compound Quality Index for cold-smoked salmon ( Salmo salar ) developed by multivariate regression of biogenic amines and pH
Production of biogenic amines during chill storage of 12 lots of cold-smoked salmon was studied. These data allowed for a multiple compound quality index to be developed by multivariate regression (partial least square regression). The quality index was based on concentrations of cadaverine, histamine, putrescine, and tyramine and pH and showed good correlation with sensory assessments.
Biogenic amines were indicators of spoilage rather than casual agents of spoilage off-flavors. Four different biogenic amine profiles were found at the time of spoilage in cold-smoked salmon. These were the results of differences in the spoilage microflora. Histamine was detected above regulatory limits but below toxic levels.
Measurements of salt and dry matter for calculation of water phase salt could be substituted by rapid water activity measurements.
