Systematic Performance Evaluation of Nanoparticulate ZnO Thin Film Based Chemoresistive Sensor for Food SafetyPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Paper number RRV07108, ASABE/CSBE North Central Intersectional Meeting. (doi: 10.13031/2013.24169) @2007Authors: Sindhuja Sankaran, Suranjan Panigrahi Keywords: Gas sensor, Acetic acid, Zinc oxide sensor, Food safety Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as organic acids released by bacterial pathogens is being used as an indicator for detecting microbial contamination in food by our research group. One of our current research thrust is to develop novel sensor that will be sensitive to a specific compounds (at room or low operating temperature) associated with food safety. Nanoparticulate zinc oxide (ZnO) based sensors are potential sensors known to exhibit good sensitivity to several VOCs at elevated temperature. Not much work has been done to evaluate the performance of ZnO based sensing material at low operating temperature. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
