Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical sensor array can determine the composition and content of target analytes, based on the electrochemical properties of specific substances in the detected object, and has the advantages of low cost, high precision, and fast detection speed, especially as the array form can provide non-specific cross-sensitive composite information. Combined with the effective data processing processes, it can help to obtain the overall information that describes the detection object and the decoding information of specific substances. This Special Issue aims to discuss research on electrochemical sensor arrays in food applications and in the simulation of human intellisense functions. Research papers on the development of both new electrochemical sensor arrays based on food detection applications and various electrochemical sensors related to human perception functions, as well as information decoding, deep data mining, portable devices, etc., are all welcome. Its purpose is to seek innovative electrochemical sensor arrays, attain more accurate and clear data descriptions, and develop more data processing methods on the comprehensive information analysis and intelligent perception evaluation of electrochemical sensor arrays. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The development of electrochemical sensor arrays;
  • Intelligent sensory evaluation;
  • The analysis and processing of complex taste and smell signals in food;
  • The machine perception and evaluation of sensor arrays;
  • The development of human perception analysis system

Abstract
Baijiu, one of the world’s six major distilled spirits, has an extremely rich flavor profile, which increases the complexity of its flavor quality evaluation. This study employed an electronic nose (E-nose) and electronic tongue (E-tongue) to detect 42 types of strong-aroma Baijiu. Linear [...] Read more.
Baijiu, one of the world’s six major distilled spirits, has an extremely rich flavor profile, which increases the complexity of its flavor quality evaluation. This study employed an electronic nose (E-nose) and electronic tongue (E-tongue) to detect 42 types of strong-aroma Baijiu. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was performed based on the different production origins, alcohol content, and grades. Twelve trained Baijiu evaluators participated in the quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) of the Baijiu samples. By integrating characteristic values from the intelligent sensory detection data and combining them with the human sensory evaluation results, machine learning was used to establish a multi-submodel-based flavor quality prediction model and classification model for Baijiu. The results showed that different Baijiu samples could be well distinguished, with a prediction model R2 of 0.9994 and classification model accuracy of 100%. This study provides support for the establishment of a flavor quality evaluation system for Baijiu. Full article

The simulation of human sensory functions is a key trend in the field of sensor development. In taste sensing, taste biosensors emulate taste perception using biorecognition elements that participate in taste transduction, such as taste receptors, cells, tissues, etc. This approach obtains high selectivity and a wide detection range of human taste perception, making taste biosensors widely used in food analysis and taste perception studies. By combining biorecognition elements with suitable data processing and analysis techniques, the taste information generated during the process of taste transduction, obtained by the sensing elements of the sensor, can be accurately captured. In this paper, we explore current available solutions to stability and sensitivity, and other challenges in taste biosensors using taste receptors, cells, and tissues as sensing elements. We also outline the applied signal processing techniques based on the signal characteristics from different types of taste biosensors. Finally, it is proposed that the development of taste biosensing sensors will further promote the application of intelligent sensory evaluation and human perception analysis systems in food, medicine, and other fields.
