Bhubaneswar, April 29 -- A recent patent awarded to a team of researchers from National Institute of Technology (NIT)-Rourkela may come out handy in checking food adulteration and measuring the quality for the consumers.
The team has secured a patent for a system capable of rapidly detecting and measuring adulteration in spices and other food products. The developed technology combines Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with advanced machine learning models to deliver accurate results.
The system developed by NIT Rourkela researchers provides a rapid, non-destructive, and cost-effective alternative suitable for real-time deployment in quality control laboratories and industrial processing units.
FTIR spectroscopy is a techniq...
