Electronic Tongue Market

Report Highlights

Electronic tongue is a device which measures and compares tastes. Electronic tongue is also called e-tongue. Electronic tongue equipped with multiple sensors which detect dissolved organic and inorganic compounds. Electronic tongue applies pattern recognition method to predict the taste of the sample. Electronic tongue has several application in various industries areas such as the pharmaceutical industry, food and beverage industry, and the healthcare industry. In the pharmaceutical industry, electronic tongue can be used for assessment of API bitterness strength and quantify bitterness of masking material. Electronic tongue is used to better adherence and improvement of taste of drugs for pediatric and geriatric patient base.

Pharmaceutical companies have introduced the taste sensing systems for better development of pediatric and geriatric formulation. Electronic tongue is entered into medical diagnostic market and provide non-invasive disease diagnosis.  The electronic tongue has used to detect and identify a wide array of disorders including mental health disorders and metabolic disorder by analyzing both liquid and vapor patient sample. Electronic tongue systems such as biomimetic cross-reactive sensor array are affordable and efficient for medical diagnosis.
