Quality Detection of Beverage Using Sensor

Abstract

The analysis of different kinds of beverages and food stuffs, containing various inorganic and organic substances, assessment of food and beverage quality and recognition of adulteration are urgent practical tasks. [11] We are fabricating a device which enable the detection of all the quality aspects in beverage. Unlike other equipment, this sensor combines all the features in a single detector which is user friendly. The device combines some of the major quality attributes such as pH, moisture level, water quality, chemical and microbiological contamination. It is also proved that this device is user friendly since it comprises all the sensors under a single device. By comparing the values which we derived using this device with the standard values of the tested beverage samples, the values were almost the same. The adulteration of alcoholic beverage may not only be conducted to increase the alcoholic strength by using cheaper source of starch besides grape or fruit. As per the definition by WHO “illegally manufactures spirit drinks are adulterated counterfeit consumption can cause methanol poisoning”.
