This study was conducted (1) to characterize the aroma and taste profiles of strawberries over a 5-day storage period (4 \u00b0C) using both electronic senses and human panels and (2) to correlate the electronic sense data with human panel data. A total of 10 sensory attributes of strawberries, including 7 aroma and 3 taste attributes, were analyzed by a descriptive sensory panel (n = 16) over the five days. Although the human panel did not find significant differences in the intensities of the strawberry attributes over the five days, the intensity ratings showed an increasing or decreasing trend over the storage period. However, the e-nose and the e-tongue discriminated each of the storage days of the strawberry samples. Furthermore, the partial least square regression coefficients of determination (R2) indicated that the e-nose and the e-tongue were highly predictive in their evaluation of the intensities of all the descriptive sensory attributes. Lastly, the concentrations of furaneol, one of the key volatiles imparting a distinct ripe strawberry aroma, were determined using an e-nose to correlate with the intensities of aroma attributes evaluated by the panel. A significant positive Pearson\u2019s correlation coefficient was found with the intensities of overripe aroma. The findings indicate the potential of electronic senses to determine sensory characteristics and their excellent capability to predict the eating quality of strawberries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods13203269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,21]],"date-time":"2024-10-21T04:45:35Z","timestamp":1729485935000},"page":"3269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Assessment of Changes in Sensory Characteristics of Strawberries during 5-Day Storage through Correlation between Human Senses and Electronic Senses"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7494-4456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md Shakir","family":"Moazzem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Poultry Science, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Hayden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Poultry Science, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5013-4005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dong-Joo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Materials Research and Education Center, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1711-6187","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sungeun","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Poultry Science, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Sotelo-Gonz\u00e1lez, A.M., P\u00e9rez-Ram\u00edrez, I.F., Soto-Infante, J.H., de Jes\u00fas G\u00f3mez-Vel\u00e1zquez, H.D., V\u00e1zquez-Barrios, M.E., Escobar-Ort\u00edz, A., and Reynoso-Camacho, R.
