MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611023982 A) filed by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on Feb. 27, for 'a portable biosensor device and system for rapid detection of food adulterants.'

Inventor(s) include Mr. Vishant Pal.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "portable enzyme-based biosensor device and method for rapid detection of food adulterants is disclosed. The invention enables on-site identification of harmful adulterants in consumable food products such as milk, edible oils, and grain extracts without reliance on laboratory infrastructure. The biosensor employs selectively immobilized enzymes configured to react with specific adulterants, wherein enzyme-substrate interactions generate measurable colorimetric and/or electrochemical signals proportional to adulterant concentration. The generated signals are processed by an embedded processing unit and automatically compared with predefined calibration profiles and safety thresholds to determine adulterant presence and risk level. The device provides clear qualitative or quantitative outputs, including indications such as "Safe" or "Adulterant Detected," within a short time interval."
