Implementation and performance of a taste sensing system for quality assessment of agrobased products

The trend in human food consumption is seeing a shift in demand, from consumer’s side demanding increase of health elements in food and from manufacturer’s side demanding higher palatability. Currently, quality of farm production is not verifiable and its quality claim is very dependent on farmer...
