Drivers of Digital Scent Technology market

Adoption of E -Nose in Food Industries for Checking Freshness Evaluation and Authenticity Assessment

• The adoption of electronic noses (e-noses) in the food industry for assessing freshness and authenticity has gained significant traction in recent years. E-noses are sensor arrays capable of detecting and recognizing various volatile compounds emitted by food products, which can indicate their freshness or authenticity.
• Freshness Evaluation: E-noses can detect changes in the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by food products as they age or spoil. For example, in fish and meat products, changes in amine compounds can indicate spoilage. E-noses can detect these changes earlier than human senses, allowing for timely intervention to maintain product quality and safety.
• Authenticity Assessment: E-noses can also help in assessing the authenticity of food products by analysing their aroma profiles. Each food product has a unique aroma fingerprint due to the presence of specific volatile compounds. By comparing the aroma profile of a sample with a database of known profiles, e-noses can identify potential adulteration or contamination.

• In August 2023, similarly, a team of scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed an artificial scent system that reliably assesses the freshness of meat by mimicking the mammalian nose. The 'electronic nose' (e-nose) consists of a 'barcode' that changes colour over time in response to the gases released by meat as it decays and a barcode reader in the form of an artificial intelligence-powered smartphone app. The e-nose has been trained to recognize and predict meat freshness.
• In September 2023, Google AI used artificial intelligence to create a map correlating odours to chemical structures. It is as accurate as a human in describing a substance's stench, and the researchers behind the experiment think it is an important step toward digitizing scents. A fundamental difficulty in olfaction is mapping molecular structure to odour perception. The Google AI researchers create a Principal Odor Map (POM) that preserves perceptual associations and enables odour quality prediction for novel odorants using neural graph networks (GNN).
• In April 2022, The EU Funded Project "Smart Electronic Olfaction for Body Odor Diagnostics" – SMELLODI for short - started with a meeting. The seven partners aim to create intelligent electronic sensor systems that can discriminate between normal body scents and those affected by sickness and convey them digitally. The partners are from Germany, Israel, Finland, and Germany. The technology created over three years with roughly EUR 3 million in funding is intended to pave the way for the digitization of smell.
