An Array of MOX Sensors and ANNs to Assess Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Packs' Compliance with CFPR Guidelines.

Parmigiano Reggiano cheese is one of the most appreciated Italian foods on account of its high nutrient content and taste. Due to its high cost, these characteristics make this product subject to counterfeiting in different forms. In this study, an approach based on an array of gas sensors has been employed to assess if it was possible to distinguish different samples based on their aroma.

Nanostructured MOS Sensor for the Detection, Follow up, and Threshold Pursuing of Development in Milk Samples.

Food poisoning is still the first cause of hospitalization worldwide and the most common microbial agent, , is the most commonly reported gastrointestinal disease in humans in the EU (European Union) as is reported by the European Union One Health 2018 Zoonoses Report styled by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) and ECDC (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control). One of the vehicles of transmission of this disease is milk. Nanostructured MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensors have extensively demonstrated their ability to reveal the presence and follow the development of microbial species.

UV-Enhanced Humidity Sensing of Chitosan-SnO Hybrid Nanowires.

The surface of SnO nanowires was functionalized by chitosan for the development of room-temperature conductometric humidity sensors. SnO nanowires were synthesized by the seed-mediated physical-vapor-deposition (PVD) method. Chitosan layers were deposited on top of the SnO nanowires by spin coating.

Nanomaterial Gas Sensors for Online Monitoring System of Fruit Jams.

Jams are appreciated worldwide and have become a growing market, due to the greater attention paid by consumers for healthy food. The selected products for this study represent a segment of the European market that addresses natural products without added sucrose or with a low content of natural sugars. This study aims to identify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that characterize three flavors of fruit and five recipes using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) analysis.

Investigation of Reduced Graphene Oxide and a Nb-Doped TiO Nanotube Hybrid Structure To Improve the Gas-Sensing Response and Selectivity.

The precise detection of flammable and explosive gases and vapors remains an important issue because of the increasing demand for renewable energy sources and safety requirements in industrial processes. Metal oxides (TiO, SnO, ZnO, etc.) are very attractive materials for the manufacturing of chemical gas sensors.
