Data set for Gambung green tea aroma using on electronic nose

Abstract

Abstract Objectives In recent years, there has been much discussion and research on electronic nose (e-nose). This topic has developed mainly in the medical and food fields. Typically, e-nose is combined with machine learning algorithms to predict or detect multiple sensory classes in each tea sample. Therefore, in e-nose systems, e-nose signal processing is an important part. In many situations, a comprehensive set of experiments is required to ensure the prediction model can be generalized well. This data set specifically focuses on two main goals such as classification of green tea quality and prediction of organoleptic score. In this experiment, Gambung dry green tea samples were used. The challenge is that dry tea does not emit as strong an aroma as tea infusions, making it more difficult for the e-nose system to detect and identify the aromas. This data set offers a valuable resource for researchers and developers to conduct investigations and experiments by classifying and detecting organoleptic scores that aim to categorize and identify organoleptic ratings. This enables a deeper understanding of the quality of dry green tea and encourages further integration of e-nose technology in the tea industry. Data description This experiment focused on analyzing green tea aroma using six gas sensors. Seventy-eight green tea samples were tested, each observed three times, using a tea chamber connected to a sensor chamber via a hose and an intake micro air pump. Air flowed from the tea chamber to the sensor chamber for 60 s, followed by 60 s of aroma data recording. This data was saved into CSV files and labeled according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 3945:2016, which includes special and general requirements for green tea quality. An organoleptic test by a tea tester further labeled the data set into “good” or “quality defect” for classification and provided organoleptic scores based on dry appearance, brew color, taste, aroma, and dregs of brewing for continuous label.
