Abstract:

Electronic Noses are a helpful instrument in sensor technology. They are used in various industries, including food, cosmetics, agriculture, and others, for quality assurance and ripeness monitoring, process improvement, and product creation. It acts like a human nose, working as an electronic olfactory using an array sensor. Electronic Noses (eNoses) have found several applications in agriculture due to their ability to detect and analyze odours and volatile compounds. During ripening, fruits release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), producing aroma. Enose can identify the VOC emission of fruit during its ripening stage and measure the quality of the fruit. ENose was developed for ripe cashew fruit detection using an array of MQ sensors in this proposed work. Their ability to analyze and differentiate aroma profiles makes them essential for ensuring the ripeness quality of cashew fruits and meeting farmer preferences. Pattern recognition of sensors was done using PCA, Random Forest, and DNN. Experimental results on various Tamil Nadu cashew varieties were more accurate in feedforward DNN analysis, and 96.85 % of the cashew fruit samples were detected precisely.

Keywords:

ENose, Cashew, MQ sensor, VOC, DNN.
