The olfactory analogue is a newly rising technology developed in the last ten years

and its development closely de pends upon such research fields as new material

precision manufacture technology

multi sensor mixture

computer

pattern recognition

applied methematics

and relative application ones as well.Therefore

its study has very important theoretical significance.The ol factory analogue technology has widely application prospects in quality evaluations of such odorous products as foods

and in environ mental supervision

chemical industry

transportation

medical treatments and the others.This paper goes into details the basic principle of the technology

introduces its history

state-of-the art work and future development

points out some problems in its applications that remain unsolved.And furthermore

this paper elaborates with an emphasis on its widely application prospects in qualitatively evaluating the odor qualities of performs

cigarettes

alcoholic dr inks as well as other aromatic materials in the light industry.This paper goes into details the basic principle of olfactory analogue technology
