Abstract
Commercially available metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors have been used to investigate the substances emitted by raspberries. A calibration on the gas sensors was performed trough random gas mixtures made up with wide concentration ranges of 11 substances which compose air and are emitted by food. After, the sensors and different amounts of raspberries have been placed in different food boxes for several days. Estimates based on data were able to track the emissions’ change of some volatile organic compounds, e.g. ethanol and acetaldehyde, during the spoiling process.
