Several measurements were made to check the discrimination capability of the prototype in the detection of aromas in beer. The measurement and control program has been developed in Labview® and data classification with Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in Matlab®.

The prepared sensors have been tested under varying concentrations of CO, NO2and humidity diluted in synthetic air, exhibiting satisfactory gas sensing responses. A principal component analysis has been performed with the collected data and responses towards different gases can be easily classified in clusters.
