[Retracted] Electronic Nose for Differentiation and Quantification of Yeast Species in White Fresh Soft Cheese

Table 2

Results of partial least squares (PLS-1) models for four strains using electronic nose (as matrix) and the concentration of each strain (as matrix) using three sensors (MQ-2, MQ-135, and MQ-138). The different parameters are shown in calibration and validation methods. Full cross-validation was used.
