Abstract

About 351,000 people die of food poisoning globally every year. In some countries, majority of people struggle on daily basis for food, due to preservation of foods and use of chemicals to artificially increase the time span of food causes people illness. Food contamination is more dangerous because very often food does not look bad even though severely infected, it may appear quite normal. The presence of highly dangerous toxins and bacterial spores is often not detected until after an outbreak of food poisoning, laboratory examination uncovers the infecting agent. It is necessary to develop a system that can help people to identify the freshness of food or quality of food items. Based on the research, the hypothesis is that, as food decays, they emit certain gases which can be detected by Arduino based sensors, and the levels of these gases will vary depending on the extent of the decay. The measurement of parameters like alcohol, methane gas level in food items is necessary to determine freshness and quality of food. It serves the purpose of consumer health protection by maintaining the required standard to preserve the quality of food. The status of the food is not fresh all the time. The proposed system will help people to identify the freshness of food or the quality of food items. Our purpose is that the system may give better quality and freshness in food. General awareness of nutrients in food must be known by the consumer. Food poisoning has been the source of innumerable diseases that has a bad effect on health. To avoid illness, we use sensors to determine the freshness of household food items like fruits which can reduce food poisoning. Project captures activities performed by IOT based food spoilage detection system. The food we consume can affect in any form of contamination that may occur due to storage or chemical reaction within the food. There are several viruses and bacteria that causes food contamination and leads to numerous foodborne diseases, for example Noro virus a very contagious virus caused by contaminated food or water. Most of the people die of food poisoning globally every year. It is essential to develop a system that can help people to identify the freshness of food or quality of food items. Our proposed system may give the good quality (freshness) management in food.
