Study on VOCs of Fishmeal during Storage Based on HS-SPME-GC-MS.

Fishmeal is widely used in the feed industry as the main protein material. The freshness grade directly affects the quality of the fishmeal. During the storage of fishmeal, the odor would change accordingly as the freshness grades decreased.

Numerical Simulation and Analysis of the Airflow Field in the Crushing Chamber of the Hammer Mill.

The airflow dynamics within hammer mills' crushing chambers significantly affect material crushing and screening. Understanding the crushing mechanism necessitates studying the airflow distribution. Using a self-built crushing test platform and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, we investigated the impact of screen aperture size, rotor speed, hammer-screen clearance, hammer quantity, and mass flow rate on airflow distribution within the rotor region, circulation layer, and screen apertures.

Evaluation of Dynamic Changes of Volatile Organic Components for Fishmeal during Storage by HS-SPME-GC-MS with PLS-DA.

Headspace solid-phase microextraction, combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and partial least squares discriminant analysis, was adopted to study the rule of change in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for domestic and imported fishmeal during storage with different freshness grades. The results showed that 318 kinds of VOCs were detected in domestic fishmeal, while 194 VOCs were detected in imported fishmeal. The total relative content of VOCs increased with storage time, among which acids and nitrogen-containing compounds increased significantly, esters and ketones increased slightly, and phenolic and ether compounds were detected only in domestic fishmeal.
