Area of Science:

Analytical Chemistry
Sensor Technology
Machine Learning

Background:

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted by various sources, including food, bacteria, and plants.
Traditional VOC detection methods like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry are high-end and require expertise.
Human odor testing is subjective and requires extensive training.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a portable, battery-powered electronic nose system for detecting and classifying VOCs.
To evaluate the performance of metal-oxide gas sensors and machine learning algorithms for rapid sample classification.
To explore the potential of this system for food authentication applications.

Main Methods:

An in-house circuit with ten metal-oxide sensors and voltage dividers was designed.
Data acquisition was performed using an STM32 microcontroller with 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion.
A support vector machine (SVM) supervised machine learning algorithm was employed for VOC classification.

Main Results:

Eight out of ten sensors demonstrated excellent repeatability with a coefficient of variation below 10%.
The system achieved 100% and 98% accuracy in classifying wine and oil samples, respectively, during training.
Testing with new data yielded high sensitivity and specificity, with up to 98.6% for wine and 93.3% for oil.

Conclusions:

Metal-oxide gas sensors are suitable for developing cost-effective electronic nose systems.
The developed portable system demonstrates high accuracy and repeatability for VOC detection and classification.
This technology holds significant promise for food authentication and quality control applications.
