Can we detect food spoilage before it becomes visible?

At the #SerenadeProject, we are developing intelligent systems based on MOS sensors capable of monitoring in real time the gases emitted during the food spoilage process.

Thanks to their low cost, small size, and easy integration, these sensors are a key technology for real-world applications across the food supply chain. But we go one step further:

🔬 We apply Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to extract more precise and multidimensional information from each sensor.
🌡️ We use thermocycling operations to enhance sensitivity and create “virtual arrays” using a single physical sensor.
🤖 We integrate #ArtificialIntelligence to understand the relationship between emitted gases and each stage of spoilage, enabling earlier and more reliable predictions.

The result: a solution that not only detects but also interprets the true condition of food with high accuracy.
