Electronic Nose: By:-Md. Mohibbul Haque B.Tech (EEE) 7080710249

This document provides an overview of electronic noses. It discusses that electronic noses are devices that can detect odors and flavors using sensor arrays and pattern recognition systems, mimicking the human sense of smell. The key components of an electronic nose are a sample delivery system to introduce odors, a detection system of sensors that react to volatile compounds, and a computing system that analyzes the sensor responses. Common sensor types include MOS, CP, and MOSFET sensors. Electronic noses are trained on sample odors and can then identify new samples by comparing their odor fingerprint to the training database. Applications of electronic noses include quality control, process monitoring, formulation development, and storage condition monitoring.

Introduction
An electronic nose is a device intended to detect
odors or flavours.
Over the last decades, “electronic sensing” or “e-
sensing” technologies have undergone important
development from a technical and commercial point of
view.
Since 1992, researches have been conducted to
develop technologies, commonly referred to as
electronic nose that could detect and recognise odors
and flavours.

What is e-sensing ?
“Electronic Sensing” refers to the capability of
reproducing human senses using sensor arrays and
pattern recognition systems.
Techniques to analyze
odors
In industry, aroma assessment is usually
performed by gas chromatography. The
technique gives information about volatile
organic compounds but the correlation between
analytical results and actual odor perception is
not direct due to potential interactions between
several odorous components.
The three major parts of electronic
nose
 A sample delivery system.
 A detection system.
 A computing system.
A sample delivery system
The sample delivery system enables the gene
ration of the headspace (volatile compounds) of
a sample, which is the fract ion analyzed. The
system then injects this headspace into the
detection system of the electronic nose.
The sample delivery system is essential to gu
arantee constant operating conditions.
SAMPLE DELIVERY
The detection system
The detection system, which consists of a sen sor
set, is the “reactive” part of the instrume nt.
When in contact with volatile compounds, the
sensors react, which means they experie nce a
change of electrical properties.
INFORMATION DETECTING
SYSTEM
The computing system
The computing system works to combine the
responses of all the sensors which represent the
input for the data treatment.
COMPUTING SYSTEM
The sensors
The most commonly used sensors are:-
• MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductors).
• CP (Conducting Polymers).
• MOSFET ( Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field
Effect Transistor).
Mos
A metal oxide semiconductor structure is
obtained by depositing a layer of silicon dioxide
(SiO2) and a layer of metal on top of a
semiconductor die. As the silicon dioxide is a
dielectric material its structure is equivalent to a
planar capacitor, with one of the electrode
replace by a semiconductor.
MOS
What is “MOSFET” ?
It stand for metal oxide semiconductor field-effect
transistor. It is an important semiconductor device and is
widely employed in many circuit application.
How to perform an analysis
An electronic nose needs to be trained with
qualified samples so as to build a database
of reference. Then the instrument can recog nize
new samples by comparing volatile co
mpounds fingerprint to those contained in
its database, performing qualitative or quan
titative analysis.
The applications
The electronic nose instruments are used:-
1. In Research and Development laboratories.
2. In Quality Control laboratories.
3. Process and Production department.
In Research and Development
laboratories:-
In the R & D laboratories, the electronic nose
are used for:-
1. The formulation or reformulation of products.
2. Self life and stability studies.
3. Selection of raw materials.
4. Packaging interaction effects.
and so on..
In Quality Control labs.
In quality control laboratories, electronic nose are
used for :-
1. Conformity of raw materials, intermediate and
final products.
2. Batch to batch consistency.
3. Detection of contamination, spoilage, adulteration.
4. Monitoring of storage conditions.
and so on..
In Process and Production
department
In process and production department,
electronic nose is used for :-
1. Managing raw material variability.
2. Comparison with a reference product.
3. Cleaning in place monitoring.
and so on..
