Biogenic amines are degradation products generated by bacteria in meat products. These amines can indicate bacterial contamination or have a carcinogenic effect to humans consuming spoiled meat,; therefore, their rapid detection is essential. Trimethylamine (TMA) is a good target for the detection of biogenic amines because its volatility. TMA was directly detected in meat food products using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). TMA concentrations were measured in chicken meat juice for a quantitative evaluation of the meat decaying process. The lowest detected TMA concentration in chicken juice was 0.6 +/- 0.2 ng and the lowest detected signal for TMA in a standard aqueous solution was 0.6 ng. IMS data were processed using partial least squares (PLS) and Fuzzy rule-building expert system (FuRES). Using these two chemometric methods, trimethylamine concentrations of different days of meat spoilage can be separated, indicating the decaying of meat products. Comparing the two methods, FuRES provided a better classification of different days of meat spoilage. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
