Nanowire Gas Sensor to Support Optical and Volatile Changes in the Production Chain of Fruit Jams

The marmalade and jam market is growing worldwide, with the European countries being main producers in this sector. has ancient origins production aimed at conserving surplus fruits during some period of year. Nowadays, automatic processes are wide-ranging but start high-quality raw materials follow an appropriate cooking process to conserve features final product. On other hand, cases overcooking may occur which lead hydroxy-methyl-furfural derivatives consequent browning poor organoleptic characteristics This study use chemical oxide nanowire gas sensors device S3 coupled optical techniques recognizing algorithms create a multi-actor platform able control jams marmalades fast response time, assist avoid economical losses PCA shows that innovative technology can recognize changes volatile fingerprint, distinguishing when positive more natural fruit still present from appearance defects due faulty process.
