MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621009583 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Jan. 30, for 'system and method for detecting freshness and chemical safety of produce.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Prashant Jain; Prof. Priya Sen; Jay Yadav; and Vishal Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A food monitoring system (100) for detecting freshness and chemical safety of produce. The food monitoring system (100) includes a plurality of sensors (102), an optical device (104, a communication interface (106), and a hardware processor (108) operatively coupled to the optical device (104) and the communication interface (106). The hardware processor (108) obtains sensor data from the plurality of sensors (102), obtains optical reflectance data from the optical device (104) by illuminating a surface of the produce with ultraviolet light and detecting reflected spectral signatures. The hardware processor (108) determines a freshness level by comparing the volatile organic compound data and the ammonia data against baseline thresholds corresponding to spoilage indicators. The hardware processor (108) further determines a residue risk level by matching the spectral signatures against stored adhesive signature patterns, and communicates a freshness alert to a user device (110)."
