The aim of this study is to determine the performance of a lab-made electronic nose (e-nose) composed of an array of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors in the detection and differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) and Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) incubated in trypticsoy broth (TSB) media. Conventionally, the detection of L. monocytogenes and B. cereus is often performed by enzyme link immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These techniques require trained operators and expert, expensive reagents and specific containment. In this study, three types of samples, namely, TSB media, L. monocytogenes (serotype 4b American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 13792), and B. cereus (ATCC) 10876, were used for this experiment. Prior to measurement using the e-nose, each bacterium was inoculated in TSB at 1 × 10 3 -10 4 CFU/mL, followed by incubation for 48 h. To evaluate the performance of the e-nose, the measured data were then analyzed with chemometric models, namely linear and quadratic discriminant analysis (LDA and QDA), and support vector machine (SVM). As a result, the e-nose coupled with SVM showeda high accuracy of 98% in discriminating between TSB media and L. monocytogenes, and between TSB media and B. cereus. It could be concluded that the lab-made e-nose is able to detect rapidly the presence of bacteria L. monocytogenes and B. cereus on TSB media. For the future, it could be used to identify the presence of L. monocytogenes or B. cereus contamination in the routine and fast assessment of food products in animal quarantine.Listeria monocytogenes causes the highest case of hospitalization (up to 91%) among other foodborne illnesses [4]. Listeriosis is infectious to humans and mammals, including the ruminant and monogastric animals. The clinical signs of listeriosis in humans include gastroenteritis, diarrhea, meningitis, bacteremia, and it causes encephalitis, septicemia, abortion, mastitis, and gastroenteritis in cows [5,6]. Member of genus Listeria is a non-spore bacterium, being anaerobic facultative, a small size, Gram-positive, and rod-shaped (0.5-4.0 µm diameter and 0.5-2.0 µm long). Listeria monocytogenes can contaminate a wide range of foods, including yogurt, cheese, meat, ham, smoked salmon, poultry, seafood and vegetable products [2,7].Bacillus cereus is a facultative aerobic to anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped, and spore-forming bacteria. Spore endurance to unfavorable conditions has assisted the widespread of Bacillus [8,9]. Although the culture method is the gold standard for bacteria identification, it is inefficient, time-consuming (more than 1 week), requires laboratory operator expertise, and identification depends on specific microbiological and biochemical testing [7,9,10]. Besides these methods, there are also other detection methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, the PCR-based technique requires sophisticated equipment, complicated techniques, and lengthy processes such as ...
