ABSTRACT:Much attention has been paid on the foodborne illness of food, which is easily contaminated with bacteria or pathogens. Escherichia coli (E.coli) is one of these bacteria that commonly live in the contaminated animal meat. There is a growing need in the food industry for pathogen detection systems that are sensitive to low levels of bacteria, specific to the target organisms, capable of yielding results at or near real time. Both contaminated and non-contaminated goat meat were tested using an electronic nose (Cyranose 320) which consists of 32 polymer sensors. We developed an electronic nose method for the rapid detection of E. coli O157:H7 in goat meat. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method was applied to analyze the experimental data, and the results indicated that they either overlap or are very close making it very difficult for the device to correctly identify. E-nose has a potential for being used as a tool for rapid detection of contamination, although it is not able to detect very low concentration of the contaminant.
文摘：食品中易受細菌或病原體污染的食源性疾病引起了人們的廣泛關注。大腸桿菌(E.coli)是這些細菌中的一種，通常生活在受污染的動物肉類中。食品工業越來越需要對低水平的細菌敏感的病原體檢測系統，這些細菌是針對目標生物體的，能夠實時或近實時地產生結果。使用由32個聚合物傳感器組成的電子鼻(Cyranose320)對受污染和未受污染的山羊肉進行測試。我們開發了一種快速檢測山羊肉中大腸桿菌O157:H7的電子鼻法。采用主成分分析(PCA)方法對實驗數據進行了分析，結果表明，這些數據要么重疊，要么非常接近，使得裝置很難正確識別。電子鼻有潛力被用作快速檢測污染物的工具，盡管它不能檢測到非常低濃度的污染物。
