5.2.3.3 High Throughput Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)<br />

In the case of HPLC, a total of 174 samples were analysed in duplicate. Based on the<br />

provided sensory scores, the 174 samples of HPLC consist of 26 fresh (F), 65<br />

semi-fresh (SF) and 83 spoiled (S) samples.<br />

5.2.3.4 Electronic nose (e-nose)<br />

In the case of e-nose, measurements of 90 samples (with their four replicates) using<br />

eight sensors were provided; based on the provided sensory scores, the 90 samples of<br />

e-nose consist of 18 fresh (F), 40 semi-fresh (SF) and 32 spoiled (S) samples.<br />

5.2.3.5 Data Overview<br />

For each experimental technique, the total number of samples and variables as well as<br />

their data composition as described in the previous sections is summarised in Table 7.<br />

5.2.4 The architecture<br />

The implemented multivariate analysis pipeline was tested on the new case studies on<br />

an Apple Mac Mini under the operating system Mac OS X version 10.8.2, running on<br />

a 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and 4 GB memory.<br />
