Abstract
- Highlights • A colorimetric sensor array was developed to classify different coffees. • The unique color profile for each coffee sample was obtained. • The samples were successfully distinguished according to their categories. • We demonstrated that the sensor array was useful for rapid discrimination of different coffees. Abstract A method based on colorimetric sensor array (CSA) was used to classify different coffees. The array was fabricated by printing twelve sensing materials selective to key coffee aroma odorants on a hydrophobic membrane. The unique color profile for each coffee sample was obtained, resulting in facile differentiation by the naked eye without any statistical analysis. The color responses of CSA were evaluated by principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis to identify classification patterns of ground roasted coffee, espresso coffee, and aero-press coffee samples, and the samples were successfully distinguished according to their categories such as variety and roast degree of coffee beans or brewing procedure. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis and linear discriminant analysis using the CSA data obtained from sixty coffee samples demonstrate that the CSA is a potentially promising methodology for rapid discrimination of different coffees.
