An electronic tongue system based on the array of six metallic potentiometric sensors (metallic wires) was developed and utilized for discrimination of foodstuffs: several types of vinegar and fruit juices. Copper, tin, iron, aluminum, brass and stainless steel wires were included in the array and supplemented by pH glass electrode. The response of potentiometric metallic sensors towards various organic acids has been studied and possible sensitivity mechanisms were discussed. Overall potential changes of metallic sensors were exanimate as complex mixed signals influenced by several components presenting in analyte employing chemometric approach. The multisensor array of such a type can be useful for several applications since of simplicity in handling, low cost of sensors and easy measure procedure.
