"Electronic tongues", "taste sensors", and similar devices (further named as "multisensor systems", or MSS) have been studied and applied mostly for the analysis of edible analytes. This is not surprising, since the MSS development was sometimes inspired by the mainstream idea that they could substitute human gustatory tests. However, the basic principle behind multisensor systems-a combination of an array of cross-sensitive chemical sensors for liquid analysis and a machine learning engine for multivariate data processing-does not imply any limitations on the application of such systems for the analysis of inedible media. This review deals with the numerous MSS applications for the analysis of inedible analytes, among other things, for agricultural and medical purposes.
“电子舌”、“味觉传感器”和类似的设备（进一步命名为“多传感器系统”或 MSS）已经被广泛研究和应用于可食用分析物的分析。这并不奇怪，因为 MSS 的发展有时受到主流观点的启发，即它们可以替代人体味觉测试。然而，多传感器系统背后的基本原理——将用于液体分析的交叉敏感化学传感器阵列与用于多元数据处理的机器学习引擎相结合——并不意味着对这些系统在不可食用介质分析中的应用有任何限制。本综述涉及多传感器系统在不可食用分析物分析中的众多应用，包括农业和医疗用途等。
