Inventor(s) include Navjot Kumar; Yoginder Kumar; Sai Krishna V; Rishi Ranjan; A H Kiranmayee; Rakesh; Kailash Chander; and P C Panchariya.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 26, under issue no. 39/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A hand-held, non-destructive honey adulteration detection system and method comprising honey samples (1), thermo-mixer (2), honey adulteration detection IoT device (3), sample analyzer (3A), graphical user interface (GUI) (6), a control unit (6A), cloud server (7). The system has the capability to detect various adulterants from both C3 & C4 based plants such as sugar syrup, jaggery syrup, corn syrup, and rice syrup with 8 % as the minimum limit of detection (LOD). The hardware has been realized embedded microcomputing unit and multispectral sensing platform with measurement range from 1100nm to 2500nm. A graphical use interface (GUI) software application has been integrated with for user interaction with the developed hardware, such as initialization, scanning of samples, spectral data plots, display of results etc., wherein the developed and GUI based application interacts with the hardware. This method is simple and fast method which can detect the adulteration in honey non-destructively."
