Abstract:
For the last 20 years, several applications of electronic nose (e-nose) have been reported in the area of microbiology, environmental and agricultural monitoring or medical diagnosis. E-noses were used to detect contaminants or for quality control. However, little has been reported about complex methodological problems which are strongly linked to the e-nose performance. This thesis summarises various e-nose systems and alternatives for gas and headspace analysis, highlights the essential problems associated with e-nose analysis and explains why these devices have a potential for the detection

The growing rate of diabetes and undiagnosed diabetes related diseases is becoming a worldwide major health concern. The motivation of this thesis was to make use of a technology called the ‘electronic nose’ (eNose) for diagnosing diseases. It presents a comprehensive study on metabolic and gastro-intestinal disorders, choosing diabetes as a target disease. Using eNose technology with urinary volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is attractive as it allows non-invasive monitoring of various molecular constituents in urine. Trace gases in urine are linked to metabolic reactions and diseases. Theref

Grape maturity is a critical attribute impacting potential wine quality. Maturity evaluation is difficult due to the many interrelated factors that impact physicochemical changes and limitations in the understanding of these factors.
