INTRODUCTION E-nose is developed in early 1980s by Julian Gardner Electronic nose is smart instrument that is designed to detect and discriminate among complex odours using an array of sensors.

components 1.Sensing system 2.Patter recognition system Sub components 1.Sample delivery system 2.Detection system 3.Computing system

BLOCK DIAGRAM

ANALOGY BETWEEN BIOLOGICAL NOSE AND E-NOSE

 The

human nose uses the lungs to bring the odor to the epithelium layer; the electronic nose has a pump. The human nose has mucous, hairs, and membranes to act as filters and concentrators ; while the E-nose has an inlet sampling system that provides sample filtration and Conditioning to protect the sensors and enhance selectivity.

WORKING MECHANISM OF
SENSORS

 The

sensors in the electronic nose are polymer films which have been loaded with a conductive medium. resistance of each film is established; as the constituents in the air change, the films swell or contract in response to the new composition of the air, and the resistance changes.

APPLICATIONS In detection of bombs For multimedia Application Electronic nose for medicine In food industry To detect skin vapours In resources and development laboratories

ADVANTAGES
Quality

classification of stored grain. Water and wastewater analysis. Identification of source and quality of coffee. Monitoring of roasting process. Process control of cheese, sausage, beer, and bread manufacture. Bacterial growth on foods such as meat, fish and fresh vegetables.

FUTURE SCOPE
Research

is being done on IC E-Noses Miniaturizing current Technology Improvement in sensitivity for lower levels of organisms or smaller samples Minimizing cost

CONCLUSION
No

wonder the electronic nose is sometimes referred to as a "sniffer". The E-nose has the interesting ability to address analytical problems that have been refractory to traditional analytical approaches. In my view the electronic nose is a very useful instrument now-adays.
