MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641008945 A) filed by L F A Anand Raj; Poshika B T; and Madeehah, Kelambakkam, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 29, for 'rapid biosensor for detection of microbial contamination in foods.'
Inventor(s) include L F A Anand Raj; Poshika B T; and Madeehah.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A rapid biosensor system for detecting microbial contamination in food products is disclosed, enabling fast, sensitive, and reliable identification of pathogenic microorganisms to ensure food safety and quality. The system integrates a biorecognition element configured to selectively interact with target microbial contaminants present in food samples. The resulting biological interaction is converted into a measurable electrical signal by a transducer operating on electrochemical, optical, impedance, or piezoelectric principles. The electrical signal is processed by a signal conditioning unit that performs amplification, filtering, and noise reduction. A processing unit analyzes the conditioned signal using predefined algorithms to determine the presence and level of microbial contamination. The analyzed output is communicated through an output unit that provides clear and user-friendly indications such as numerical values, visual alerts, or contamination status messages. The biosensor system is compact, portable, and suitable for on-site operation, significantly reducing detection time and dependence on laboratory-based techniques thereof."
