Bioelectronic ‘Nose’ Detects Spoilt Food by Sensing Decay Compound

Strong odors indicate that a certain food has gone bad; however soon there may be a new way to smell foul odors earlier on. Researchers have built a bioelectronic “nose” that can exactly detect a main decay compound at low levels, enabling people to potentially do something about it before the smell spreads.
