Abstract

The study was executed for development of sensing elements of electronic tongue which could discriminate taste of liquid and semi-liquid foods. Five polymeric membranes which were composed of polymer, plasticizer, electro-active materials were prepared. After each polymeric membranes were mounted in an electrode body, membrane potentials due to electrochemical reaction with taste stimuli were measured. The experimental results were interpreted in view of the membrane's non-selective responses to stimuli.
