Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electronic noses and electronic tongues are intelligent analysis systems that imitate human smell and taste. In recent years, the application of these instruments has gained increasing attention as they offer significant benefits regarding the analysis of complex chemical substances with simple signal outputs. The relatively low cost and rapid operation of electronic noses and tongues have made them greatly attractive to researchers in the medical, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and food and beverages fields.

Sensor arrays for electronic noses and electronic tongues, which are capable of responding to various substances, are of great importance in these two analysis systems. This Special Issue of chemosensors concentrates on the state of the art and development trends in sensors and the application of electronic noses and electronic tongues. Our focus is on novel sensors, sensing materials, and data processing strategies able to address the hurdles that remain regarding the future application of electronic noses and tongues in a more complex environment.

Authors are invited to submit original research, technical reports, short communications, and reviews to this Special Issue.

Dr. Pengfei Jia

China is a large consumer of meat and meat products. People’s daily diets include a variety of meat, but meat food adulteration problems are common. This paper discusses the research progress of the electronic nose and near-infrared spectroscopy in the field of meat adulteration detection. Through the study of dozens of related papers in recent years, it has been found that the use of the electronic nose and near-infrared spectroscopy for meat detection has the advantages of speed, a nondestructive nature, high sensitivity, strong quantitative analysis, high automation, a wide applicability, an improved product quality, and cost reduction over the traditional detection, but it may be limited in detecting the adulteration of a specific meat, and there are issues with the life and stability of the sensors of the electronic nose in the process of detection, along with the problems of the high requirements for the modeling of the data of near-infrared spectroscopy. This paper takes adulterated meat as the research object and briefly summarizes the detection principles of the electronic nose and near-infrared spectroscopy, as well as the types of sensors applied in the electronic nose. The research progress of the electronic nose and near-infrared detection technology in meat adulteration assessment is reviewed, the advantages and disadvantages of the two in practical application are analyzed, the classification of pattern recognition methods and their applications in meat identification are described, and the feasibility and practical significance of the joint application of the two in meat adulteration detection are envisioned. Meanwhile, the challenges faced by the two in meat detection are pointed out. Full article
