Abstract

Electronic noses produce data which are difficult to transfer between identical instruments because of differences in the characteristics of "identical" instruments and because of sensor drift. The transportability of data is, however, essential for the setting up of databanks. Results of the present investigation, using processed cheeses and evaporated milk as reference materials, show that data transfer between two electronic noses based on mass spectrometry is possible and simple.
