Electronic Tongues Applied to Grape and Fruit Juice Analysis

Legislation is increasingly demanding more quality and sustainability in food production. This implies the need for automated measuring systems that allow rapid and accurate monitoring of quality parameters in food. Among these, fruit juices are consumed worldwide and their health benefits are well known because of the content in polyphenolic compounds and vitamin C. At present, the quality control of fruit juices during processing and the final product are performed with conventional methods which are time consuming and require expensive laboratory equipment. Electronic tongues can play an important role here as they allow quick measurements of a large number of quality parameters with good reliability and can be implemented in portable systems. This chapter reviews the most significant work done on the implementation of electronic tongues and multisensor systems for the analysis of various types of fruit juices, grape juice, and tomato juice.
