For the differentiation of samples in
this type of systems, chemometric
tools and analysis have been used to
extract the causes of the variance of
the readings of the electronic nose
and the multivariate distance (Casa -
grande Silvello & Alcarde, 2020). The
most applied multivariate procedures
are cluster analysis, factor analysis,
multidimensional scaling, discrimi-
nant analysis, regression analysis,
and artificial neural networks (Gar-
cía-González & Aparicio, 2002). In
the present work, three multivariate
methods have been used: PCA, Clus-
ter analysis and Factor analysis.
PCA as a technique applied to chem-
istry has been used in other studies
(Welke et al., 2013). For example, in
previous works different types of
wines such as Chardonnay, Merlot,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon
Blanc and 50 % Chardonnay/Pinot
Noir 50 % have been achieved, find-
ing total variances of the first two
components, lower than those found
in the present work.
Welke et al. (2013), also found the
red wines, Cabernet Sauvignon and
Merlot, are in the same quadrant.
Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc
wines were separated by PC2, while
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and
50% Chardonnay/50% Pinot Noir
wines were most influenced by vari-
ables related with PC1. In the present
study, it was observed that handmade
wines were in quadrants I and IV,
while commercial wines were found
in quadrants II and III. It is also im-
portant to appreciate that the sweet-
est wines were influenced by PC1,
whether commercial or handmade.
Sensors doped with platinum rea -
ched better results of the wines de-
tection and discrimination than tin
oxide sensors doped with palladium.
This behavior was seen in a previous
work (Paredes-Doig et al., 2019).Plat-
inum aggregation in the bulk (¨bulk¨)
of tin oxide leads to an increase in
the density of the chemisorbed oxy-
gen on the surface and in a certain
way increases the resistance of the
MOS; however, its character as a de-
hydrogenation catalyst is the one that
predominates and for which it is used
to increase the sensitivity of a sensor
(Sevastyanova et al., 2012).
The zeolite films improved the detec-
tion of wines such as in the work of
