“…Garneau et al [ 151 ] used an e-nose to investigate a problem relating to the quality of pulp and paper which is sometimes affected by the proportions of black spruce ( Picea mariana ), balsam fir ( Abies balsamea ) and jack pine ( Pinus banksiana ) present in wood chips used as raw materials. A rapid analytical method capable of differentiating wood of these three species of conifers was a prerequisite to developing a procedure to determine the proportions.…”

Electronic-nose devices have received considerable attention in the field of sensor technology during the past twenty years, largely due to the discovery of numerous applications derived from research in diverse fields of applied sciences. Recent applications of electronic nose technologies have come through advances in sensor design, material improvements, software innovations and progress in microcircuitry design and systems integration. The invention of many new e-nose sensor types and arrays, based on different detection principles and mechanisms, is closely correlated with the expansion of new applications. Electronic noses have provided a plethora of benefits to a variety of commercial industries, including the agricultural, biomedical, cosmetics, environmental, food, manufacturing, military, pharmaceutical, regulatory, and various scientific research fields. Advances have improved product attributes, uniformity, and consistency as a result of increases in quality control capabilities afforded by electronic-nose monitoring of all phases of industrial manufacturing processes. This paper is a review of the major electronic-nose technologies, developed since this specialized field was born and became prominent in the mid 1980s, and a summarization of some of the more important and useful applications that have been of greatest benefit to man.

“…Consequently, a determination of the composition of wood types present in the mixture is a prerequisite to obtaining an accurate assessment of expected product (paper) quality. Garneau et al [324] utilized a Cyranose 320 e-nose, containing a sensor array with 32 thin-film carbon black composite (CBC) sensors, to discriminate between the odor signatures (fingerprints) of wood chip mixtures (in each sample batch) based on wood-type composition derived from either sapwood or heartwood. Unknown samples were identified at high levels of confidence using CPA and comparisons against aroma reference databases created from known wood-chip mixtures of different wood-type proportions.…”

Electronic-nose (e-nose) instruments, derived from numerous types of aroma-sensor technologies, have been developed for a diversity of applications in the broad fields of agriculture and forestry. Recent advances in e-nose technologies within the plant sciences, including improvements in gas-sensor designs, innovations in data analysis and pattern-recognition algorithms, and progress in material science and systems integration methods, have led to significant benefits to both industries. Electronic noses have been used in a variety of commercial agricultural-related industries, including the agricultural sectors of agronomy, biochemical processing, botany, cell culture, plant cultivar selections, environmental monitoring, horticulture, pesticide detection, plant physiology and pathology. Applications in forestry include uses in chemotaxonomy, log tracking, wood and paper processing, forest management, forest health protection, and waste management. These aroma-detection applications have improved plant-based product attributes, quality, uniformity, and consistency in ways that have increased the efficiency and effectiveness of production and manufacturing processes. This paper provides a comprehensive review and summary of a broad range of electronic-nose technologies and applications, developed specifically for the agriculture and forestry industries over the past thirty years, which have offered solutions that have greatly improved worldwide agricultural and agroforestry production systems.

“…Las narices electrónicas se han empleado exitosamente en la clasificación de especies de madera, bajo condiciones específicas. En 2004, se utilizaron para discriminar entre tres especies diferentes de la familia de las pináceas (Pinaceae) a partir de su albura, que es la parte joven de la madera y se encuentra justo debajo de la corteza del árbol, y su duramen, la parte de mayor edad que está formada por células biológicamente muertas y es atractiva por ser la parte más resistente del tronco (Garneau et al, 2004). Los autores pudieron establecer diferencias entre estas especies para ambas partes de la madera, pero analizadas por separado.…”

Entre las principales causas del acelerado proceso de deforestación y degradación de los bosques en Colombia, se encuentra la extracción ilegal de madera. Para las autoridades es difícil determinar la condición de legalidad o ilegalidad de una carga específica pues, a pesar de contar con expertos en ingeniería forestal y algunas herramientas para la identificación de especies maderables, estos recursos son insuficientes por su escasez o baja disponibilidad. Entre otras estrategias, se propone el uso de nuevas tecnologías como una opción interesante en el desarrollo de soluciones que satisfagan las necesidades técnicas, operativas y económicas. Existen avances sobre dispositivos novedosos, de bajo costo y de fácil acceso: los sistemas de olfato electrónico (narices electrónicas). La Universidad Industrial de Santander cuenta con experiencia en el uso de narices electrónicas para otras aplicaciones, pero es de interés involucrar esta y otras tecnologías en el monitoreo ambiental. Por ello, se propone una metodología basada en narices electrónicas para clasificar especies maderables de acuerdo con los compuestos volátiles que emanan, es decir, su olor. Se realizó un primer caso de estudio utilizando 29 muestras de dos especies maderables: cedro y móncoro, aserradas en diferentes zonas de Santander (Colombia). Se pudo demostrar, como se esperaba, la separabilidad de estas dos clases de madera a partir de su huella odorífica, con una alta tasa de acierto. Esta investigación de tipo exploratorio permite comprender el alcance de herramientas como las narices electrónicas en diferentes aplicaciones. Así mismo, invita a continuar investigando en la viabilidad de su uso para la clasificación de especies maderables como una aplicación del monitoreo ambiental, pues deja abiertos muchos interrogantes que pueden contribuir al desarrollo de una herramienta más robusta. Todo esto busca generar un impacto positivo en la lucha contra la ilegalidad, así como constituirse en un piloto para diferentes aplicaciones donde se puede involucrar el uso de tecnología.
