The volatile compound profiles of muscle foods change a lot during storage and processing. Odor property is one of the most important factors affects the purchasing behavior of consumers. Some volatile compounds such as ammonia, trimethylamine (TMA) can be used as indicators of quality deterioration. There has been an increasing demand for the fabrication of gas sensors used for volatile compounds analysis of muscle foods. Gas sensors including receptor-based and enzyme-based biosensors and metal-oxide semiconductor sensors are introduced to detect these indicators. The applications of sensor array combined with different data processing methods are also present. Gas sensor can be an efficient technique to evaluate the volatile compounds of muscle food, and more attention should be paid on the on-line sensor system with fast detection speed and robustness.

肌肉食品的挥发性化合物在储存和加工过程中会发生很大变化。气味属性是影响消费者购买行为的最重要因素之一。一些挥发性化合物，例如氨，三甲胺（TMA）可用作质量下降的指标。越来越需要制造用于肌肉食品中挥发性化合物分析的气体传感器。引入气体传感器，包括基于受体和基于酶的生物传感器以及金属氧化物半导体传感器，以检测这些指示剂。还介绍了传感器阵列与不同数据处理方法结合的应用。气体传感器是评估肌肉食物中挥发性化合物的有效技术，
