A bioelectronic nose device based on micelle-stabilized olfactory receptors is developed for the selective discrimination of a butter flavor substance in commercial fermented alcoholic beverages. In this work, we have successfully overexpressed ODR-10, a type of olfactory receptor, from Caenorhabditis elegans using a bacterial expression system at a low cost and high productivity. The highly-purified ODR-10 was stabilized in micelle structures, and it was immobilized on a carbon nanotube field-effect transistor to build a bioelectronic nose for the detection of diacetyl, a butter flavor substance, via the specific interaction between diacetyl and ODR-10. The bioelectronic nose device can sensitively detect diacetyl down to 10 fM, and selectively discriminate it from other substances. In addition, this sensor could directly evaluate diacetyl levels in a variety of real fermented alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and makgeolli (fermented Korean wine), while the sensor did not respond to soju (Korean style liquor without diacetyl). In this respect, our sensor should be a powerful tool for versatile food industrial applications such as the quality control of alcoholic beverages and foods.

Nerve agents are toxic organophosphorus chemicals and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors that have been used in terrorist acts. Because they exhibit fatal toxic effects in small amounts, technology is required to detect and identify them early. Research for nerve agent detection using structural simulants of real agents may not function properly for real agents depending on the selectivity of the sensor.

Article Synopsis
- * The study examined how relative humidity (RH) levels and immobilization techniques affect the selectivity of OBP-based biosensors, finding that selectivity decreases at 0% RH but remains strong at 30% and 50% RH; this was further investigated through experimental and simulation methods.
- * The research revealed that adding a cysteine residue to OBPs improved selectivity by allowing better control over the protein's orientation, enhancing accessibility for VOCs, and combining different OBP

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have created a new bioelectronic nose using MXene and hydrogel that mimics the human sense of smell, specifically targeting the detection of hexanal, a compound associated with spoiled food.
- The device combines a conductive structure with special nanoparticles that can identify hexanal in both liquid and gaseous forms, offering high sensitivity and selectivity.
- This innovative bioelectronic nose can detect hexanal concentrations as low as 10 M in liquids and 6.9 ppm in gases, making it useful for monitoring food spoilage in products like fish and milk.

Replicating the sense of smell presents an ongoing challenge in the development of biomimetic devices. Olfactory receptors exhibit remarkable discriminatory abilities, including the enantioselective detection of individual odorant molecules. Graphene has emerged as a promising material for biomimetic electronic devices due to its unique electrical properties and exceptional sensitivity.
