Abstract
The disclosure relates to an electronic device and a method for determining the kind and the state of a food stored therein. The electronic device includes a storage container in which the food is stored, a gas detecting device for detecting a gas included in air in the storage container, and at least one processor that identifies a time point, at which the gases included in the air in the storage container are extracted, on the basis of at least one temperature profile of the gas detecting device, and identifies a time point at which the gases included in the air in the storage container are extracted, on the basis of a configuration of at least one adsorption material included in the gas detecting device.
