An electronic nose was tested to determine if halfkernel, whole kernel, and pod peanuts could be significantlyseparated based on the presence of offflavorindicating volatiles in the kernel. The sampling and data analysis techniqueused was developed previously and successful at separating ground peanut kernels. Statistically significant differences weredetected for all three levels of sample destruction. The electronic nose was able to separate pods at a higher level ofsignificance than the OVM technique and the GC technique for ethanol and ethyl acetate.
