This minireview describes the main developments of electronic tongues (e-tongues) and taste sensors in recent years, with a summary of the principles of detection and materials used in the sensing units. E-tongues are sensor arrays capable of distinguishing very similar liquids employing the concept of global selectivity, where the difference in the electrical response of different materials serves as a fingerprint for the analysed sample. They have been widely used for the analysis of wines, fruit juices, coffee, milk and beverages, in addition to the detection of trace amounts of impurities or pollutants in waters. Among the various principles of detection, electrochemical measurements and impedance spectroscopy are the most prominent. With regard to the materials for the sensing units, in most cases use is made of ultrathin films produced in a layer-by-layer fashion to yield higher sensitivity with the advantage of control of the film molecular architecture. The concept of e-tongues has been extended to biosensing by using sensing units capable of molecular recognition, as in films with immobilized antigens or enzymes with specific recognition for clinical diagnosis. Because the identification of samples is basically a classification task, there has been a trend to use artificial intelligence and information visualization methods to enhance the performance of e-tongues.

“…As a result, an electrochemical redox reaction occurs at the electrodes' surface and gives rise to the measured current. All particles in the measured liquid, electrochemically active below the applied voltage, will contribute to the redox response (Iliev et al, 2006). The use of voltammetry as a sensing principle, under which an electronic tongue operates, appears to have several advantages; the technique is commonly used in analytical chemistry due to its very high sensitivity, versatility, simplicity and robustness.…”

Electronic nose (e-nose) and electronic tongue (e-tongue) instrumental systems were designed to crudely mimic human olfactory and taste sensory organs and are composed of an array of sensors. Complex data sets from electronic nose and electronic tongue signals combined with multivariate statistics represent rapid and efficient tools for classification, discrimination, recognition and identification of samples, as well as for the prediction of concentrations of different compounds. A wide variety of sensors can be employed into the design of these instrumental systems, especially that of electronic tongues, offering numerous practical applications. In this study, characteristics of sensors and possibilities of electronic nose and electronic tongue applications in the dairy industry were reviewed.

“…Figure 5 illustrates a sensor prototype able to measure the quality changes in drinking water. The communication is simple and effective -using visual indications like a green light for good quality and a red light indicating suspicious or bad quality [18]. The design of an electronic tongue is not supposed, or able, to replace the human perception.…”

The approach of human-based sensing is based on the assumption that sensor systems for individual use have optimal performance if coherent with the human perception system. The benefits of complementing the human sensing with sensor systems that strengthen the information and make the human able to perform more adequate and optimized decisions based on the sensor information, will improve the human capability. The arguments for designing sensor systems that increase the human ability in order to enhance the information from its surroundings are obvious. In this paper, an example of this approach, related to human-based sensing, will be demonstrated. The ability to strengthen the human capability, and complementing human perception with additional sensing, by the use of artificial sensor systems, will increase the human performance.
