sensorial analysis by e-nose and e-tongue

Home: Italy

The proposed E-Nose and E-Tongue, developed at the University of Tor Vergata, consist of batteries of piezoelectric quartz on which metalloporphyrins are immobilized. The multidimensional response of these sensors, processed with neural networks, allows to define a “fingerprint” of the analyzed matrix similar to that processed by biological sensors (smell and taste). These sensors, adequately “trained”, can be of support for the sensory qualification of foods in support of traditional sensory analysis.
