Scent profiling of Cymbidium ensifolium by electronic nose

The performance of electronic nose (E-nose) for Chinese Cymbidium scent profiling has been evaluated. Changes in scent profiles of two Cymbidium ensifolium cultivars have been monitored at different flowering stages (initial flowering, full flowering, and terminal flowering) and different times combined with two gas collecting devices. Samples were collected by static headspace (SHS) method. How E-nose can be used for pattern recognition and for studying the releasing of flower scent were proposed. Data obtained were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant function analysis (DFA). PCA was performed on the initially instrumental data to explore the structure of each data set and such result showed that the sensory data contained information related to the cultivar and to time spots. DFA was performed to improve the results, leading to clear separations between the sample groups. Gas collecting device did not seriously affect the result of PCA and DFA. Relative aroma intensity (RAI) was proposed as an alternative concept to compare scent intensity between samples on different time points. These results demonstrate the potential application of the E-nose to evaluate the scent profile of flower.     

生物有机肥料对连作马铃薯根际营养及生长发育的影响

为了确定生物有机肥料GSJ-1对连作马铃薯土壤养分、生长发育及病情指数的影响,本研究对连作马铃薯的根际和非根际土壤主要化学指标、马铃薯生长发育指标、块茎产量进行了测定,并且对收获连作马铃薯薯块疮痂病、黑痣病的病情进行了调查统计和分析。结果表明:相对于不施生物有机肥料的处理,生物有机肥料GSJ-1能显著改善土壤肥力状况,提高马铃薯生理指标和产量,并有利于减轻马铃薯土传病害(疮痂病、黑痣病)的发生。
