New Electronic Nose (E-Nose) Mark III (wireless) to assess volatile compounds of food, beverages, animals and plants
There has been a growing interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in food, beverages, plants and animals for rapid, low-cost reliable and efficient assessment of products’ quality. Therefore, tools such as e-noses have been developed. The Digital Agriculture Food and Wine Group has developed the fully wireless, portable and low-cost Mark III e-nose (Figure 1) to assess quality of food and beverages as well as early detection of infestation of insects in plants and diseases in plants and animals.
