In phase 1, which this project includes, three selected methods have been evaluated / further developed in order to be included in a larger study (phase 2) where the methods are to be evaluated and correlated with consumer perceptions of the quality of cod and salmon. By correlating the results from the measurement methods with consumers' perception of when the fish is of good enough quality or not, it can be ensured that the fish in the counter is of the right quality, and that good goods are not discarded unnecessarily. The methods selected in phase 1 are a) sensory assessment, b) determination of the bacterium Photobacterium phosphoreum , and c) use of near-infrared / visible light spectroscopy. The results from phase 1 show that the methods, with minor modifications, are ready to be included in a large-scale consumer test for final clarification of their suitability and optimization as a common tool for quality assessment of cod and salmon.
Overall
To prepare a common tool for both supervisory authorities and industry for use in quality assessment of fresh fish.
Phase 1 (this project)
• To evaluate / further develop three different methods that can be used for quality assessment of cod and salmon.
• To describe how phase 2 of the work is to be carried out, ie consumer survey and covariation of quality measurement methods with consumers' perceptions.
