Electronic Noses: Principles and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades, electronic noses have played an increasingly important role in daily life as the olfaction economy has grown. There is an increasing need for rapid, highly sensitive, and selective analytical methods to address emerging challenges in environmental monitoring, food safety, and public health. To meet this need, gas-sensing systems based on a variety of sensors have become promising tools, which are more affordable and require less complex specialized operations compared with expensive and complex traditional analytical instruments. Electronic noses have been widely used in qualitative/quantitative analysis and sensory evaluation of food, biological, environmental, and medical samples. Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to provide a timely and comprehensive introduction to the latest and emerging concepts, principles, technologies and applications in the field of electronic noses, including, but not limited to, hardware system construction and software algorithm analysis of electronic noses, as well as novel applications. Research papers and review articles will be considered.
