MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511115723 A) filed by Manipal University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Nov. 22, 2025, for 'handheld iot-enabled analyzer for salt and sugar concentrations in food samples.'
Inventor(s) include Upasana Dwivedy; Pragati Khapra; and Dr Sandeep Kumar Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure discloses handheld IoT- enabled analyzer for salt and sugar concentrations in food samples (100). It incorporates display screen (104), control button (106), status indicators (108), probe interface (110), and rechargeable battery (112). A microcontroller/data processing unit (114), analog front-end circuits (116), and analog-to-digital converter (118) acquire and process sensor data. An interchangeable liquid probe (120) integrates conductivity electrodes (122) for salt detection and an optical refractive index element (124) for sugar measurement. A solid/semi-solid probe (126) includes a near-infrared spectroscopy sensor (128) and dielectric sensing element (130) for determining sugar and salt, respectively. Temperature sensor (132) and moisture sensor (134) enable compensation, while a wireless module (136), mobile application (138), and internal data storage (140) support connectivity and logging. Calibration and data-fusion firmware (142) outputs accurate dietary concentration values in real time."
