Introduction Testing of food products for the purpose of labeling and authentication is necessary to avoid unfair competition and assure consumer protection against fraudulent practices in the food industry. One of the major issues concerning authenticity is where high value raw materials are substituted with cheaper materials (Al-Jowder, Kemsley, & Wilson, 1997) and especially in cases involving value added products, where the potential nancial rewards for substitution of cheaper ingredients are relatively high (Lai, Kemsley, & Wilson, 1995). Problems related to adulteration of meat species in ground and comminuted products have been a widespread problem in some retail markets, while meat species identication is a major global concern (Murugaiah et al., 2009). Identication of the species of origin in meat samples is relevant to consumers for several reasons. The fallout from fraudulent substitution or adulteration will possibly lead to economic losses, jeopardize the health of consumers who may have specic food allergies and emotional disturbance due to religious reasons (Asensio, González, García, & Martín, 2008; Bonne & Verbeke, 2008; Ghovvati, Nassiri, Mirhoseini, Moussavi, & Javadmanesh, 2009; Haunshi et al., 2009). The advance in food technology has resulted in the issues getting more complicated where ingredients used in foods are more difcult to understand by the consumers unless they are directly involved in the related eld. Additionally, the task of food authentication cannot totally rely on the expertise of the practitioners of the related eld alone, but also require the contributions of those who are from other technical elds for example, chemistry and veterinary science. In halal authentication, one cannot rely solely on physical inspection and documentation, but will need complementary evidence of the latest high technology analytical instrumentation. There are many analytical techniques that have been successfully applied to detect and identify adulteration of porcine based ingredients in foods. Che Man and Mirghani (2001) developed a Fourier-transform infrared (FITR) spectroscopic method for detecting the presence of lard in certain animal fat mixtures. Che Man, Syahariza, Mirghani, Jinap and Bakar (2005) also successfully applied the FTIR spectroscopy technique to detect adulteration due to lard in cakes. The effectiveness of using DNA-based technology such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for species identication in meat and fats has also been successfully carried out by Aida, Che Man, Wong, Raha and Son (2005). The PCR method for species identication from pork and lard samples has been demonstrated to be a potentially reliable technique for detection of pig meat and fat. Chromatographic techniques such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) have also been employed in order to distinguish lard from other animal fats (Marikkar, Ghazali, Che Man, Peiris, & Lai, 2005). However, the methods mentioned previously are generally sample destructive and time consuming in order to accomplish a complete analysis. The need to develop a rapid method for halal screening arose from the fact that the Electronic nose can offer a non destructive, relatively low cost and reliable method. The potential use of the electronic nose for detection of lard adulteration in RBD palm olein has also been successfully investigated by Che Man, Gan, NorAini, Nazimah and Tan (2005).

Foraroma proling and identication of the components that contributeto the avor of pork, gas chromatography mass spectrometer withheadspace analyzer (GCMS-HS) was employed.

    2. Materials and methods

    2.1. Meat samples

    Meat samples from sheep, cow, chicken and pork were used in theexperiments. For sausages, two pork, one chicken and one beef sausageswere used. All samples were purchased from the local wet market inSerdang, Selangor,Malaysia. All sampleswere stored at20 C in ordertominimizeanydeteriorative changes to the samples. The sampleswerenot subjected to any pre treatment that may have altered their aroma

Helium with a purity of 99.999% was used for vialpressurization and as carrier gas. The volatile compoundswere analyzedusing a GC MS (Model 7890, Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA)equipped with a non polar column (J&W Scientic DB-5; 30 m, ID0.25 mm, lm thickness 0.25 m). The column temperature was kept at40 C for 10 min, increased at 6 C/min to 240 C and isothermallymaintained for 20 min. Themass selective detector (Model MSD 59556,Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA)wasused in electron ionizationmode. A mass range between 30 and 550 m/z was scanned. The massspectra obtained were compared to the NIST Mass Spectral SearchProgram for compound identication.

    2.5. Statistical analysis

    Unsupervised multivariate analysis, principal component analysis(PCA) was used for data processing using the Unsrambler v.9.6(CAMO AS, Trondheim, Norway) software. They were computediteratively in such a way that the rst principle component is the onethat carries the most information (or in statistical terms, the mostvariance explained). The second principle component will then carrythe maximum share of the residual information. Therefore, PCA ndsan alternative set of coordinate axis, principal components, of whichthe data set may be represented (He, Li, & Shao, 2007; Li & He, 2006;

  • Zhang et al., 2006). The two main aims of PCA are the reduction in thenumber of variables and elimination of redundancy.

    3. Results and discussion

    The electronic nose was used for rapid qualitative detection anddiscrimination of pork from other types of meat and meat productswhile the gas chromatography mass spectrometer with headspaceanalyzer (GCMS-HS) was used for aroma proling of pork and othermeats.

    3.1. Volatile compounds of pork

    The chromatographic proles of raw meat aroma of pork, beef,mutton and chicken obtained by electronic nose are shown in Fig. 1.The chromatogram from the electronic nose is a graphical display ofthe derivative of the frequency change versus time. Each peak foundin this derivative plot corresponds to a specic volatile compound andhas a retention time (given in seconds)which is specic to the columnand analysis temperature. The area under the peak was correlated tothe compound concentration andwas expressed in counts (cts). Therewere 7 (peaks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) common compounds for all meatsamples. However, each sample showed variations in the amount for

    every compound. Table 1 shows the peaks of the volatile compoundsand their odor description. The identication of the peaks wastentatively carried out based upon Kovat's indices database stored inthe substance library of the Microsense software using n-alkanes asstandards. In contrast to well known analytical instruments for theanalysis of avor compounds, the electronic nose does not give anyidentication of the compounds present whereas it attempts tointegrate measurements of the total headspace volatile compoundsand produce an aroma pattern that will exhibit differences orsimilarities among the samples (Arnold & Senter, 1998; Boothe &Arnold, 2002). Table 2 shows that there were a total of 43 volatilecomponents of pork identied by the GCMS-HS. The majority of thecompounds are well known lipid oxidation products, includingaldehydes, ketones and alcohols. It was observed from the aromaanalysis of pork using both techniques that the compounds werepositively identied and the most detected were aldehydes andketones. Most studies reported that almost all the aldehydes presentin pork such as heptanal and nonanal are oxidation products of oleicacid and linoleic acids which were the most abundant unsaturatedfatty acids of pork (Meinert, Andersen, Bredie, Bjergegaard, & Aaslyng,2007; Schiliemann, Wolm, Schrodter, & Ruttloff, 1987; Wettasinghe,Vasanthan, Temelli, & Swallow, 2001). From these results it can beshown that the electronic nose is a potentially feasible method for the

    The gas chromatograms of the aroma ofmeat products are shown inFig. 2. The chromatograms show that pork sausage contained morearomatic compounds and this observation is based on the number ofpeaks. Table 3 shows the set of volatile compounds corresponding topeaks 113 and their odor descriptions while Fig. 3 displays the aromapattern of 4 different types ofmeat, namely pork (Fig. 3a), chickenmeat(Fig. 3b), mutton (Fig. 3c) and beef (Fig. 3d) and 3 different types ofsausages, namely, pork sausage (Fig. 3e), chicken sausage (Fig.3f) andbeef sausage (Fig. 3g). The VaporPrint is a 2-dimensional olfactoryimagewhich provides the odor concentration and characteristic shapes(Sim et al., 2003). In this polar format, the display starts at the 0.0position and follows around the dialwith retention times increasing in aclockwise direction. By measuring the time required for each chemical

Seven electronic nose variables (loading plot) in pand hence both the identity (retention time) and the quantity (amount)of the substance canbe calculatedusing the software incorporated in thedevice. Different meat and sausage samples showed variations in theamounts of each compound and generate a unique and easilyrecognizable image. The unique nature of this display is subjected tothe relative concentrations of several compounds making up the mixwhile alsoquantifying the strengthof each chemical compoundwithin asample. However, to get an overall view of the complex data, principalcomponent analysis was carried out (Figs. 4 and 5).

    3.2. Principal component analysis

    Principal component analysis (PCA) as an unsupervised classica-tion method to visualize the resemblance and difference amongdifferent measurements in the data sets was used in order to structure

    the data matrix. The meat samples were separated along the rst PC

  • which described 67% of the peak variations (Fig. 5) and showed sevendened groups. Along the PC1 axis, pork, chicken, mutton, beef andbeef sausages were located with high positive scores but on the otherhand along the PC3 axis, chicken sausage had low positive scoreswhile pork sausage had low negative scores. This percentage appearsto sufciently dene a goodmodel, especially for qualitative purposes.Fig. 6 shows the loading plot with seven variables. Only four variables(2, 4, 6 and 7) had a far Euclidean distance from the origin while theremaining variables were considered as unimportant for discrimina-tion (low loading values along PC1 and close to the origin). The highpositive correlation between peak 4 and PC1 indicated that thevolatile prole of pork contained a higher proportion of heptanal(peak number 4) (Table 1). This indicates that the heptanal has amajor inuence upon the discrimination of pork from other types ofmeats and sausages. This concurred with the observation of Shahidi(1994) who reported that aldehydes are the major componentsidentied in the volatiles of cooked pork.

Measurements of the volatile compoundsby GCMS-HS were also employed which indicate that the electronicnose has adequate selectivity and sensitivity to perform avordetection in meats. With a total analysis of less than a minute andrequiring less than 5 g of sample, the electronic nose offers a rapid,accurate, low cost and environmentally friendly tool for detection ofporcine based ingredients in foods and this is especially useful forhalal authentication and verication.
