  • Researchers from Indian IIT, Hyderabad, has developed a smartphone-based system to detect adulteration in milk.
  • They have developed detector system which can measure level of acidity in milk using indicator paper.
  • They have also developed algorithms that can be incorporated in smartphone to accurately detect change in acidity.
  • The sensor-chip based method measures pH, which is indicator of the acidity and colour of paper indicates different pH levels.
  • In this adulteration detection system, researchers have used process called ‘electrospinning’.
