The quality of wine is checked both during the production process and upon consumption. Therefore, manual wine-tasting work is still valuable. Due to the nature of wine, many volatile components are released, and it is therefore difficult to determine which elements need to be controlled.

The processes to recognize these substances include acquisition, treatment and machine learning for classification, which can all be efficiently implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) aided by Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS). This article proposes a low-cost 11-bit effective number of bits (ENOB) sigma-delta Analog to Digital Converter (ADC), with an SNR of 75.

This prototype is based on only four metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors suitable for IoT technology. The system architecture consists of four stages: data acquisition, data storage, data processing, and user interfacing.

In the last years attempts to develop a non-invasive glucose system based on the glucose levels in sweat have been studied. In this paper, 32 metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors operating at different temperatures have been used to develop a multisensor olfactory system that allows to study the glucose levels in sweat. In order to develop repeatable experiments, artificial sweat at different glucose concentrations were developed in the laboratory.
