IoT-Based Solution for Food Adulteration

Abstract

Food acts as an energy source for the organisms that help them to grow and sustain life. In order to maintain the proper hygiene and the safe supply of food products, the food quality should be checked and monitored regularly. To quench the thirst of greed, people add adulterants in the food products to get the monetary benefits by selling the low-quality food at the higher price. So, to avoid any compromise to the human health, food adulteration monitoring system can be used to detect the presence of adulterants in the food product. This system is governed by the Raspberry pi which controls the use of sensors in the system. The recorded data is transferred using the ZigBee module and results are displayed. The IoT technology has been introduced in the system for the purpose of making the system as smart device. With the use of this system, consumption of poor-quality food can be avoided. Moreover, the simplicity of the system can help everyone (commoner, food inspectors, and shop owners) to use food adulteration monitoring system.
