MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641006753 A) filed by Dr Nirupa Gadapa, Secunderabad, Telangana, on Jan. 23, for 'chemical contaminants in food products identification system.'

Inventor(s) include Dr Nirupa Gadapa.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention is a description of an intelligent system that is meant to detect, categorize, and measure the chemical contaminants present in food products by applying an integrated sensorbased and artificial intelligence-driven analytical platform. Multi-mode chemical sensors that are incorporated in the system include spectroscopic sensors, electrochemical sensors and biosensors that are used to analyze raw, processed and packaged foods. The data of the chemical signature in sensor forms are transmitted to an edge or cloud based computational engine where machine-learn algorithms are used to recognize pesticides residues, heavy metals, adulterants, and veterinary drug residues among other harmful chemical pollutants. The system will also align the contaminant level with type of food, food processing processing level and regulatory compliance levels to yield real time contamination warning and compliance evaluation. The food supply chain can be rapidly intervened with the help of automated reporting, traceability logging, and decision-support mechanisms. The invention facilitates rapid, scalable and precise food safety surveillance and lessens reliance on laboratory-based testing as well as enhances preventive food quality management across agricultural, industrial and retail settings."
