Artificial Nose Technology

The book's unique value lies in its comprehensive overview, progressing from fundamental principles of olfaction to real-world applications, illustrated with case studies. It examines how e-noses can identify diseases from breath samples and assess food spoilage. Furthermore, it addresses the challenges of translating lab prototypes into field-ready systems, presenting a balanced view of current capabilities and future directions.

The text emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary research to enhance sensor sensitivity and tailor applications, making it a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in sensor technology. The book is structured into three parts: the first introduces the principles of olfaction; the second examines the application of e-noses in specific fields; and the third discusses the challenges and future directions of e-nose technology.
