We investigated the application of a taste sensing system to the analysis and evaluation of a water extract prepared from the longissimus muscles of six breeds of pork. We selected sensor probes that discriminate among the different pork breeds and applied the output data from selected sensor probes to principal component (PC) analysis. Then the PC scores were used in a correlation analysis with the concentrations of the umami-related substances in pork extracts. We found that sensor output was related to the concentrations of the umami-related substances.
