The invention discloses a method for using an electronic
nose to detect the freshness of chicken. The invention aims at providing a method which uses the electronic
nose to detect the freshness of chicken, has the advantages of
rapidity and simpleness, easy use and objective and reliable detection result, and can reduce the
impact of storing conditions to the detection result. The method comprises the following steps: a
chicken sample to be detected is put into a sealed container and then heated in water bath with thermostatic control; the heated
chicken sample is put into a
test room, and then smell sent by the sample is detected by a gas
sensor array which consists of four gas sensors of different types; the data which is aquired by the gas
sensor array is collected and processed; and then the freshness of chicken is judged according to the
processing result of the data. The detection method uses an electronic
nose which consists of four gas sensors of different types to detect the
chicken sample, and has the advantages of objective, accurate, and fast detection result, good
repeatability, simple analysis process and small using amount of sensors, and reduces the extraction of eigenvalues.
