Abstract :
In this paper, we review olfactory biosensors based on biological components taken from biological olfactory systems. The strategies adopted in this paper include measuring an animal´s behavioral response to chemical stimuli, using tissue- or cell-based biosensors, extracting receptor elements and coupling them to various transduction platforms, and creating sensing elements based on receptor proteins or peripheral chemical sensing elements such as odorant-binding proteins.
