Micro-structured Devices for Chemical Sensing of Flavor and Fragrance

摘要

The aim of this study was to design, develop and test an integrated micro-analytical system. Of special interest are micro-fluidic and micro-sensor applications in the field of chemical analysis, such as the optical detection of parameter changes, optical recognition of component profiles and technological micro-reaction applications. For this purpose, a modular system was developed, which enables the realization of various application cases in an uncomplicated manner, and to execute (via serial or parallel combination of components) usually not compatible tasks. Software components were developed to control the measuring procedure as well as to execute the data interpretation up to a chemometrical discriminant analysis. Application is directed to the production and product control in life sciences mainly for food, natural products, cosmetics and pharmaceutics.
