Monitoring Food Spoilage Based on a Defect-Induced Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Sensor at Room Temperature: Preventing Food Waste

Ethylene is a plant hormone emitted during fruit ripening that affects growth and development. Managing ethylene levels is crucial for preserving the quality of harvested fruit, and a sensor for detecting ethylene levels can help reduce food waste. Recent literature has focused on developing cost-effective, high-performance ethylene sensors, with carbon nanotubes being a promising material for chemiresistor-based sensors. In their paper Shaalan et al. used a Linkam HFS600E-PB4 stage with electrical connectors to test the performance of their sensor at 30 °C.
