Recently, with the sensor technology, research about the electronic nose system which imitated the olfactory organ are being pushed actively. But, in case of general electronic nose system, an aroma is measured at the laboratory space where blocked external environment and is analyzed a part of measured data. In this paper, we propose the system which can measure and recognize an aroma in natural environment. We propose the Entropy algorithm which can detect the sensor reaction section among the continuous detection processing about an aroma. And we implement the aroma recognition system using the PCA(Principal Components Analysis) and K-NN(K-Nearest Neighbor) about the detected aroma. In order to evaluate the performance, we measured the aroma pattern, about 9 aroma oil, 50 times respectively. And we experimented the aroma detection and recognition using this. There was an error of 0.2s in the aroma detection and we get 84.3% recognition rate of the aroma recognition.

Volatile compounds in Omangdungi (Styela plicata)-Doenjang (soybean paste) stew were analyzed using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation/gas chromatography/mass-selective detection/olfactometry (SAFE/GC/MSD/O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). The GC/O analysis detected 37 volatile compounds, of which 32 were positively identified, and included 9 aldehydes, 5 alcohols, 4 aromatic hydrocarbons, 4 ketones, 3 esters, 3 N-containing compounds, 2 acids, 1 S-containing compound, and 1 furan. Nine aroma-active odorants ($\log_3FD{\geq}3.0$) in the sample included six compounds derived from Doenjang (3-methyl(thio)propanal, tetramethylpyrazine, 4-vinyl-2-methoxyphenol, 2-acetylpyrrole, butyric acid, and 2-methoxyphenol) and three compounds from Omangdungi (2-acetyl-2-thiazoline, 9-decanol, and 6-decenol). Three compounds derived from Omangdungi (9-decanol, 6-decenol, and 6-nonenol) were thought to enhance the seafood-like flavor of Omangdungi-Doenjang stew.

Present study describes the optimization of disk type sorptive extraction using monolithic material (Mono Trap) for the analysis of volatile aroma compounds from Lantana camara L. in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Monolithic material sorptive extraction (MMSE) is a new sampling technique using a monolithic hybrid adsorptive disk (O.D. 10 mm, 1 mm thickness) made of high purity silica and activated carbon having a large surface area chemically bonded with octadecyl silane (ODS). The experimental parameters that may influence the MMSE efficiency have been optimized. Linearity, accuracy, precision and detection limits were evaluated to assess the performance of the proposed method. The method was validated with real plant samples of Lantana camara L. Twenty eight compounds including the main representative compounds of ${\alpha}$-curcumene and ${\beta}$-caryophyllene were found in analyzed samples. Results proved that proposed method could be used as a good alternative for the analysis for such volatile aroma compounds in plant samples.

A rapid, sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of four barbiturates (phenobarbital, pentobarbital, amobarbital and secobarbital) in raw milk. The barbiturates were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction, ultrasonication and centrifugation, and purified on an SPE column. Analytes were separated by HPLC on a CSH C18 column eluted using an acetonitrile-water system with a linear gradient dilution programme, and detected by MS/MS. The recoveries of the barbiturates were 85.0-113.5%, and the intra- and inter-assay RSDs were less than 9.8% and 7.3%, respectively. The limit of detection was 5 ng/mL for all four of the barbiturates. The analytical method exhibited good linearity from 10 to 1000 ng/mL; the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) was greater than 0.9950 for each barbiturate. This method was also applied to the determination of barbiturates in real milk samples and was found to be suitable for the determination of veterinary drug residues in raw milk.

In this study, headspace disk type monolithic material sorptive extraction (HS-MMSE) was developed, validated and applied to the analysis of volatile aroma compounds from vanilla perfume by gas chromatography -mass spectrometry (GC/MS). HS-MMSE uses monolithic material (MonoTrap) based on silica bonded with octadecyl silane (ODS) and activated carbon as a sorbent. Aroma compounds was adsorbed onto the MonoTrap in headspace and extracted by only 100 ${\mu}L$ of solvent. Total 12 volatile compounds from vanilla perfume were successfully analyzed using HS-MMSE. The influence of extractive parameters was investigated and optimized, using benzyl acetate, linalyl acetate, vanillin, ethyl vanillin as target compounds. Under the optimum condition, the limit of detection (S/N = 3) and the limit of quantification (S/N = 10) of proposed method for the target compounds were obtained within the range of 8.35~13.76 ng and 27.82~45.88 ng, respectively. The method showed good linearity with correlation coefficient more than 0.9888, satisfactory recovery and reproducibility. These results showed that HS-MMSE using disk type MonoTrap is a new promising technique for the analysis of volatile aroma compounds from vanilla perfume.

The aim of this study was to investigate the change of volatile aroma compounds in kimchi during fermentation, before and after drying process. Also, the encapsulation effect of cyclodextrin on volatiles during the drying process was examined. GC-MS was used for detection and identification of volatile compounds. During kimchi fermentation, in the early stage, dimethyl sulfide, carbon disulfide were detected as major compounds and after 7 days several sulfur compounds, dimethyl disulfide, methyl 2-propenyl disulfide, allyl methyl sulfide, and di-2-propenyl disulfide bacame the major volatiles. After vacuum-drying, the kimchi powder lost 11 compounds but still retained 13 volatiles of which major compounds were dimethyl sulfide, acetaldehyde and methanethiol. In order to keep volatiles in kimchi powder along with the drying process, 0.25-1.0% cyclodextrin was added in kimchi and dried-kimchi was prepared by using vacuum dryer. Cyclodextrin acted as an encapsulation agent for aroma compounds and it resulted in less loss of volatiles during drying process. Addition of cyclodextrin will permit industry-scale production of dried-kimchi powder with less loss of aroma compounds.

This study determined the effect of refrigerated and thermal storage on the volatile profile of commercial aseptic soymilk. Volatile components in commercial aseptic soymilk stored either under refrigerated ($4^{\circ}C$) or thermal ($55^{\circ}C$) conditions for 30 days were periodically analyzed by combined solvent-assisted flavor evaporation-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SAFE-GC-MS). The concentrations of most of the volatile components, including aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, acids, nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds, alkylfurans, furan derivatives and phenolic compounds, were affected to a greater extent by thermal storage compared with refrigerated storage. Profound increases in some volatile compounds with low odor detection thresholds, such as hexanal, octanal, (E)-2-octenal, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, 1-octen-3-ol, 3-ethyl-2,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine, 2-pentylfuran, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone, dimethyl trisulfide, guaiacol, 4-vinylguaiacol and 4-vinylphenol, were observed in thermal stored soymilk. The volatile profile changes caused by thermal storage may influence the aroma quality of thermal-stored aseptic soymilk.

The treatment of Patients with bacteraemia and septicemia requires accurate and rapid identification of the pathogen so that the physician can be guided regarding the selection of the proper antimicrobial therapy. The usual procedure is to withdraw an aliquot of the positive blood culture sample for gram staining and subculturing on the media for the growth and subsequent identification, and susceptibility determinations. It was noticed that during the process some microbiologists would sniff the effluent gases that are products of metabolism and in some cases guess the identity of the bacterium. That Prompted us to engage in systematic investigation of two gram positive and two gram negative bacteria using an electronic nose that had been proven successful in distinguishing the aroma of coffee beans from different sources. The investigation was successful in illustrating the efficacy of such a device in this clinical setting to distinguish Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecalis. A representative set of patterns obtained with this apparatus is displayed as well. A representative set of patterns obtained with this apparatus is displayed as well. No effort was made to determine an optimal set of sensors for some specific set of bacterial metabolism gaseous products.

Headspace solid phase trapping solvent extraction (HS-SPTE) and GC-MS was applied for the characterization of volatile flavors from fennel, anise seed, star-anise, dill seed, fennel bean, and Ricard aperitif liquor. Tenax was used for HS-SPTE adsorption material. Recoveries, precision, linear dynamic ranges, and the limit of detection in the analytical method were validated. There were some similarities and distinct differences between fennel-like samples. The Korean and the Chinese fennels contained trans-anethole, (+)-limonene, anisealdehyde, methyl chavicol as major components. The volatile aroma components from star anise were characterised by rich trans-anethole, (+)-limonene, methyl chavicol, and anisaldehyde. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) has been used for characterizing or classifying eight different fennel-like samples according to origin or other features. A quite different pattern of dill seed was found due to the presence of apiol (dill).

A novel sample pretreatment technique, headspace hanging drop liquid phase microextraction (HS-LPME) was studied and applied to the determination of flavors from solid clove buds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Several parameters affecting on HS-LPME such as organic solvent drop volume, extraction time, extraction temperature and phase ratio were investigated. 1-Octanol was selected as the extracting solvent, drop size was fixed to 0.6 $\mu$L. 60 min extraction time at 25 ${^{\circ}C}$ was chosen. HS-LPME has the good efficiency demonstrated by the higher partition equilibrium constant ($K_{lh}$) values and concentration factor (CF) values. The limits of detection (LOD) were 1.5-3.2 ng. The amounts of eugenol, $\beta$-caryophyllene and eugenol acetate from the clove bud sample were 1.90 mg/g, 1.47 mg/g and 7.0 mg/g, respectively. This hanging drop based method is a simple, fast and easy sample enrichment technique using minimal solvent. HSLPME is an alternative sample preparation method for the analysis of volatile aroma compounds by GC-MS.
