Assessment of the quality attributes of cod caviar paste by means of front-face fluorescence spectroscopy.

This paper describes the fluorescent behavior of cod caviar paste, stored under different conditions, in terms of light exposure and concentration of oxygen in the headspace. Multivariate curve resolution was employed to decompose the overall fluorescence spectra into pure fluorescent components and calculate the relative concentrations of these components in the different samples. Profiles corresponding to protoporphyrin IX, photoprotoporphyrin, and fluorescent oxidation products were identified. Sensory evaluation, TBARS, and analysis of volatiles are typical methods employed in the routine analysis and quality control of such food. Successful calibration models were established between fluorescence and those routine methods. Correlation coefficients higher than 0.80 were found for 79% and higher than 0.90 for 50% of the assessed odors and flavors. For instance, R values of 0.94, and 0.96 were obtained for fresh and rancid flavors respectively, and 0.89 for TBARS. On the basis of these data, it can be argued that front-face fluorescence spectroscopy can substitute all of these expensive and tedious methodologies.
