ABSTRACT:
An electronic device for discriminating, identifying and analyzing liquid, semi-liquid and solid samples containing volatile components, by performing simultaneous evaluation of odor and taste of the samples, the device having a closable and thermally stable chamber wherein the sample to be analyzed is placed, the chamber including, in direct contact with the sample, a set of electronic sensors for sensing a non-vapor phase of the sample, a second set of sensors for sensing a vapor phase of the sample and humidity and temperature sensors, with the signals from the sensors being processed and sent to a computing platform comprising a pattern-recognizing program and/or a multivaried-data analysis program.
