ABSTRACT
To enlist eight
independent laboratories to jointly evaluate the performance
of the ammonia ion-selective electrode as a rapid, simple
screening procedure for seafood quality. The protocol
guidelines outlined by the Association of Official Analytical
Chemists (AOAC) International will be used, and total
volatile base and trimethylamine analyses will also be
done, where possible. The study will evaluate the success
of this technique on fatty fish, in comparison to results
of prior work on lean fish flesh. All data will be analyzed
statistically.
