Automated Food Quality Checking System

Abstract

Ensuring food safety, hygiene, and health is crucial in tackling the issue of food wastage. Preserving the high quality of food necessitates vigilant checking and safeguarding against deterioration caused by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. This research aims to develop a comparable tool for checking food quality, specifically focusing on environmental aspects like temperature, humidity, alcohol content, and light exposure for perishable items like fruits and vegetables. The system is constructed using an Arduino UNO microcontroller, which interfaces with various sensors like DHT-22 to track temperature and humidity, MQ3 to detect alcohol levels, and LDR to measure light exposure. The collected sensor data is transmitted to an IoT platform through an ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module. This IoT system serves to log and monitor the sensor data, enabling remote and real-time oversight of food storage conditions from any location and at any time.
