MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611000578 A) filed by Ct University, Ludhiana, Punjab, on Jan. 3, for 'smart handheld device for detection and analysis of quality parameters in sealed packaged beverages.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Satvir Singh; Dr. Nitin Tandon; Dr. Gagandeep Kaur; and Mr. Rohit Chatrath.

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: "The present invention is a smart handheld device for non-invasive quality parameter detection and analysis in sealed packaged beverages without opening the container. To assess beverage safety, freshness, and authenticity, the device combines multi-spectral optical sensors, gas and vapor sensors, acoustic resonance analysis, and artificial intelligence-based models. Water, juices, carbonated drinks, dairy-based drinks, energy drinks, adulteration, spoiling, inadvertent fermentation, chemical contamination, and storage-related deterioration are all detected. To find variations from typical quality profiles, trained machine learning algorithms are used to interpret sensor data obtained from packaging materials. The technology improves consumer safety, supply chain integrity, and counterfeit identification by providing real-time feedback through visual indicators and a companion application."
