MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641042254 A) filed by Chennai Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 2, for 'embedded tinyml-based real-time milk freshness and spoilage detection system.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. G. Muthupandi; Dr. S. Pavithra; Mrs. M. Sindhu; S Amutha; Dr. G. Shanmugasundaram; and Mr. Vikram R.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The monitoring of milk and dairy supply chains is crucial for maintaining food safety, general health, and quality standards in milk production. The traditional techniques of testing milk involve laboratory testing or chemical testing kits or manual inspection, which are time-consuming and require personnel with skills as well as being unsuitable in real-time testing, especially in rural and resource-deficient areas. Due to the presence of microorganism growth, poor storage facilities, and fluctuations in temperature, milk is very perishable and vulnerable to spoilage. Moreover, the presence of milk adulteration, such as water dilution, might not be detected during transportation and storage, reducing the nutritional value and the health risk. The present invention is an adaptive offline real-time milk quality monitoring system based on Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML). The system is then a collection of sensors, including the pH, temperature, and gas sensors, to offer a continuous flow of measurements of the v."
