Electronic noses — development and future prospects

Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Meat Production and Technology

“…Since the application of ANN in meat science and technology is mainly associated with novel technologies, a brief presentation of technologies encountered is given. Electronic nose (also electronic sensing or e-sensing) is an array of electronic chemical sensors with partial specificity and an appropriate pattern-recognition system, capable of detecting specific or complex odours (Craven et al, 1996). These instruments contain an array of sensors that utilize various technologies like organic polymers, metal oxides (Harper, 2001).…”

Floral Fragrance. New Inroads into an Old Commodity

“…The first step in this direction was made by the development of an electronic nose that has three elements: an odor-sensor array, a data preprocessor, and a pattern-recognition engine (Craven et al, 1996). The signals that form the output of a sensor array do not provide a spectrum of scent constituents but rather information relating to the quality of the compounds, which are characterized by a particular sensor response signature.…”

Control Mechanism of Bad Odor Generated from Sanitary Landfill Leachate Using Swiss Pharm BioMist

“…In fact, among the variables that could influence the citizens' sense of a healthy environment, odor emissions play an important role, as they deeply affect the human life quality and psycho-physical wellness [1]. An odor is a mixture of light and small molecules that are able to stimulate an anatomical response in the human olfactory system.…”
