Odorants measurement using hyperspectral imaging and PVC film including multi fluorescent probes

Abstract

Odor imaging sensor was developed with odorants sensing mechanism based on the complicated fluorescence interactions between the multi-fluorescent-probes and odorants. In this research, poly vinyl chloride (PVC) films including various fluorescent probe were developed, and fluorescence properties of the film were investigated. Using the multi fluorescent probe film, fluorescence intensity change spectrum to various odorants was measured, and odorants could be clustered by their chemical structure by multi-variate analyses of hyper spectra images.
