Effect of Storage Time and Packing Method on the Freshness of Dried Lycium Fruit Using Electronic Nose and Chemometrics by Xiaojing Tian, Ming Long, Yuanlin Liu, Peng Zhang, Xiaoqin Bai, Jun Wang, Zhenbo Wei, Shien Chen, Zhongren Ma, Li Song, Li Luo

“…The model built by BPNN showed the best predict ability with R2 = 0.9994, while PLS and MLR were also effective in the prediction of storage years of dried Lycium fruits, with high determination coefficients of 0.9316 and 0.9330. These findings showed that E-nose can be used in the discrimination of the storage time and package method of dried Lycium fruits.…”
