Abstract:
Milk is a wonderful natural supplement that plays a key role in the
development of the mind and body, it is one of the primary sources of
calcium, minerals and vitamins. Adulterated milk is a major problem in
the developing countries such as Pakistan. Consumption of adulterated
milk can result in problems related to heart and other vital organs of the
human body, it can result in cancer and in some extreme cases, death.
MilkAbility is a smart milk quality analyzer which can help identify and
differentiate between pure safe-to-consume milk, and adulterated milk by
conducting various tests such as pH, Temperature, Total-Dissolved- Solids
and Fat-content tests. Although there are more than 15 tests that are
conducted by milk experts, most of them are chemical based. Chemical
based tests are very accurate, but they are slow and require a lot of time.
On the other hand, MilkAbliity is totally digital and can produce results
with a matter of seconds. This is due to All-Electronics-No-Chemical or
(AENC) approach with the help of new generations of Microcontrollers and
sensors. The most important sensor used in MilkAbility is self-made fat
sensor that works on the principle of photometry. The heart of MilkAbility
is the Raspberry Pi Pico RP 2040. And the sensors include DS18B20,
KeyStudio TDS Sensor, pH 4052c, and DIY Fat Sensor V1.0.
