Instrumental techniques used for assessment of food quality

Two instrumental techniques applied for food quality assessment such as gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and electronic nose (e-nose) are characterized. The principle of each technique and typical analytical approaches in odour determination are briefly described. Furthermore, the examples of applications, performed also in the author’s laboratory, are given.
