SAW sensor array for wine discrimination

A surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor array has been developed in order to discriminate Spanish wine coming from different grape varieties and elaboration processes. Sensors were coated with diverse thicknesses of polyepichlorohydrin (PECH), polyetherurethane (PEUT) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Linear techniques as principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and non-linear ones as probabilistic neural networks (PNN) have been used for pattern recognition. A classification success rate of 86% has been achieved.
