Anoxic Microbial Methanogenic Detection For Food Safety Sustentation

The maintenance of uniformity in food grade among the market available edible elements is quite debatable now-a-days. This ambiguity is mere consequence of versatility in the product vendors and various materials used for manufacturing the same. One of the important factors which governs the processed food's standard is its shelf life with and without refrigeration. It's a known fact that the food becomes a house for production of yeast, mold, bacteria and many other parasites on an extended shelf life. This process will route a way for aerobic and anaerobic culture in the food, for which the dominant end product would be methane (CH
4
). The proposed work aims at providing an amicable and affordable IoT device which is capable of identifying the extent of food spoilage and decides the degree of edibility based upon methane dissipation. The designed product additionally also features the measurement of humidity and temperature to ensure annunciation of food decay.
