Abstract
Summary: The application of readily available solid state gas sensors to the measurement of the trimethylamine and dimethylamine content of fish and fish products is described. The method provides data with an accuracy and precision which are adequate for many purposes, especially for screening relatively large numbers of samples and has the advantage of being cheap and requiring only a small amount of sample. Some other potential applications of the gas sensors are also discussed.
