Title
Ethylene gas sensor for evaluating postharvest ripening of fruit.
Abstract
It is widely known that ethylene treatment is an effective method for postharvest handling of fruit. In this study, we employed a field effect transistor based on silicon carbide (SiC-FET) gas sensor for detecting ethylene produced from fruits. The characteristics of the sensor was evaluated regarding several parameters. The selectivity and sensitivity of SiC-FET sensors can be controlled toward a few target gases by changing the operating temperature, gate material and material structure. We studied an iridium and a platinum gated SiC-FET sensors and characterized the sensing of these for different ethylene concentrations as the target gas at different operating temperatures. The results showed that the iridium gated SiC-FET sensor has high sensitivity to ethylene, and the highest response is achieved at 200 degrees C.
