The food we consume plays an important role in our daily life. It provides us energy which is needed to work, grow, be active, and to learn and think. The healthy food is essential for good health and nutrition. Light, oxygen, heat, humidity, temperature and spoilage bacteria can all affect both safety and quality of perishable foods. Food kept at room temperature undergoes some chemical reactions after certain period of time, which affects the taste, texture and smell of a food. Consuming spoiled food is harmful for consumers as it can lead to foodborne diseases. This project aims at detecting spoiled food using appropriate sensors and monitoring gases released by the particular food item. Sensors will measure the different parameters of food such as pH, ammonia gas, oxygen level, moisture, etc. The microcontroller takes the readings from sensors and these readings then given as an input to a machine learning model which can decide whether the food is spoilt or not based on training data set. Also, we plan to implement a machine learning model which can calculate the lifespan of that food item. Index Terms: Arduino Uno, Food spoilage, IoT, Machine Learning, Sensors.
