Electronics Nuclear engineering Over the years, electronic nose technology has been researched extensively and used in a wide range of applications.

Electronic mucosa system refers to an electronic nose system combined with gas chromatography column to produce extra information, which is spatial and temporal information of odour profile. The main components in electronic mucosa system are four sets of sensor arrays. Each sets containing five metal oxide chemo resistive sensors also known as e2v sensors.

This electronic mucosa system mimics nasal chromatography effect in human mucous. This system produces spatial and temporal information also known as spatio-temporal information. The spatio-temporal data aid pattern recognition technique and enhances the ability to distinguish more complex odour compared to conventional electronic nose.
