Machine-Learning-Based Olfactometer: Prediction of Odor Perception from Physicochemical Features of Odorant Molecules.

Analytical chemistry
Gas chromatography/olfactometry (GC/O) has been used in various fields as a valuable method to identify odor-active components from a complex mixture. Since human assessors are employed as detectors to obtain the olfactory perception of separated odo...

Development of a partial least squares-artificial neural network (PLS-ANN) hybrid model for the prediction of consumer liking scores of ready-to-drink green tea beverages.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
In order to develop products that would be preferred by consumers, the effects of the chemical compositions of ready-to-drink green tea beverages on consumer liking were studied through regression analyses. Green tea model systems were prepared by do...

Using insects to drive mobile robots - hybrid robots bridge the gap between biological and artificial systems.

Arthropod structure & development
The use of mobile robots is an effective method of validating sensory-motor models of animals in a real environment. The well-identified insect sensory-motor systems have been the major targets for modeling. Furthermore, mobile robots implemented wit...

The ontogeny of kin-recognition mechanisms in Belding's ground squirrels.

Physiology & behavior
Despite extensive research on the functions and mechanisms of kin recognition, little is known about developmental changes in the abilities mediating such recognition. Belding's ground squirrels, Urocitellus beldingi, use at least two mechanisms of k...

Insect-controlled Robot: A Mobile Robot Platform to Evaluate the Odor-tracking Capability of an Insect.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Robotic odor source localization has been a challenging area and one to which biological knowledge has been expected to contribute, as finding odor sources is an essential task for organism survival. Insects are well-studied organisms with regard to ...

Classification of the fragrant styles and evaluation of the aromatic quality of flue-cured tobacco leaves by machine-learning methods.

Journal of bioinformatics and computational biology
During commercial transactions, the quality of flue-cured tobacco leaves must be characterized efficiently, and the evaluation system should be easily transferable across different traders. However, there are over 3000 chemical compounds in flue-cure...

Composition of Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum radix oil from different extraction methods and activities against human body odor-producing bacteria.

Journal of food and drug analysis
In this study, oils from Asarum heterotropoides were extracted by traditional solvent extraction and supercritical CO (SC-CO) extraction methods and their antioxidant activities along with antimicrobial and inhibitory activities against five human bo...

Towards biological plausibility of electronic noses: A spiking neural network based approach for tea odour classification.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The paper presents a novel encoding scheme for neuronal code generation for odour recognition using an electronic nose (EN). This scheme is based on channel encoding using multiple Gaussian receptive fields superimposed over the temporal EN responses...

Automated tracking and analysis of behavior in restrained insects.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Insect behavior is often monitored by human observers and measured in the form of binary responses. This procedure is time costly and does not allow a fine graded measurement of behavioral performance in individual animals. To overcome th...

Predicting the composition of aroma components in Baijiu using hyperspectral imaging combined with a replication allocation strategy-enhanced stacked ensemble learning model.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
Ester and acid aroma compounds are crucial components affecting the fragrance of Baijiu, and their composition can endow the Baijiu with a fruity, acidic, floral, or roasted aroma. This study aims to quantitatively detect the ester and acid content i...
