Development of Electronic Nose with Low-Cost Dynamic Headspace for Classifying Vegetable Oils and Animal Fats

Article Preview

Abstract:

A portable electronic nose (e-nose) using low-cost dynamic headspace and commercially metal oxide gas sensors has been developed. This paper reports evaluation on the performance of the e-nose to classify vegetable oils (sunflower and grape seed oils) and animal fats (mutton, chicken and pig fats). The e-nose consists of a dynamic headspace sampling, a gas sensor array and a real-time data acquisition system based on ATMega-16 microcontroller. The dynamic headspace can divided into two chambers, i.e. sample and gas sensor array room. It is also equipped with three small fans for adjusting sensing and purging processes. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for measurement data analysis after all features being extracted. The first two principal components were kept because they accounted for 91.1% of the variance in the data set (first and second principals accounted for 72.9, 18.2% of the variance, respectively). This results show that the e-nose can distinguish vegetable oils and animal fats. This work demonstrates for the future that the e-nose with low-cost dynamic headspace technique may be applied to the identification of oils and fats in halal authentication.
