Food Freshness Using Electronic Nose and Its Classification Method: A Review

Abstract

Generally, E-nose mimics human olfactory sense to detect and distinguish an odor or gasses or volatile organic compound from a few objects such as food, chemicals, explosive etc. Thus, E-nose can be used to measure gas emitted from food due to its ability to measure gas and odor. Principally, the E-nose operates by using a number of sensors to response to the odorant molecules (aroma). Each sensor will respond to their specific gas respectively. These sensors are a major part of the electronic nose to detect gas or odor contained in a volatile component. Information about the gas detected by sensors will be recorded and transmitted to the signal processing unit to perform the analysis of volatile organic compound (VOC) pattern and stored in the database classification, in order to determine the type of odor. Classification is a way to distinguish a mixture odor/aroma obtained from gas sensors in an electric signal form. In this paper, we discussed briefly about electronic nose, it’s principle of work and classification method and in order to classify food freshness.

Traceability in the Indian dairy industry: Concept and practice

“…Table 3 summarises some of the biosensors available for detecting milk adulterants. Then, technology-based methods, such as the electric nose and electric tongue, were rapid detection methods with minimal sample preparation (Mohamed et al 2018;Patel et al 2019). As technology continues to improve, new and more accurate methods for detecting adulteration will likely be developed, ensuring the safety and quality of dairy products for consumers.…”

A Prototype to Prevent Fruits from Spoilage: An Approach Using Sensors with Machine Learning

“…Each chemical, however, has unique attributes and traits of its own. Chemical properties are therefore unique and will be used as the input data to create this kind of system [8]. The computerised markings of explicit odours must be gathered into a library (dataset) in order for the programmed recognition process to be successful [9].…”
