Abstract
Sensory quality control of alcoholic beverages using fast chemical sensors In the present Doctoral Thesis, two chemical artificial sensors are applied to the analysis of alcoholic beverages: the Mass Spectrometry (MS)-based electronic-noses and Fouriertransform infrared (FTIR)-based electronic-tongue. The aim was developing new strategies totest the authenticity of these products, from a sensory point of view, by means of the spectral techniques above mentioned. Additionally, has been used an UV-visible spectrophotometer aselectronic eye. The work presented wants to be a significant advance towards the developmentof an electronic taster through the fusion of three chemical sensors: electronic nose, electronictongue and electronic eye.
