Abstract
The “bio-electronic nose” fabricated by LIFT is tested in nitrogen upon exposure to separated concentrations of R-(-)-1-octen-3-ol (octenol) and R-(-)-carvone (carvone) vapours. The “bio-electronic nose” showed low detection limits for the tested compounds (i.e. 0.48Â ppm for the detection of octenol, and 0.74Â ppm for the detection of carvone). In addition, the bio-sensing system was able to discriminate the octenol molecules from the carvone molecules, making it pertinent for the assessment of food contamination by moulds, or for the evaluation of indoor air quality in buildings.
