CLASSIFICATION OF A1 AND A2 MILK AND ANALYSIS OF MILK QUALITY

CLASSIFICATION OF A1 AND A2 MILK AND

ANALYSIS OF MILK QUALITY USING ELECTRONIC
SENSORY ORGANS

AIM:

Classification of A1 and A2 milk and analysis of milk quality using electronic sensory
organs.

SCOPE:

Milk is an indispensible food for human beings from infancy to old age. There are
innumerable health benefits accredited to milk and milk products. All over the world people
fulfill approximately 13% of their protein requirements from milk and milk products. In the
recent years, A1 and A2 type milk emerged as one of the hot debating topic among the
consumers worldwide. Studies suggest that milk from cows with A2 type is far healthier than
their A1 counterparts. Milk from desi (indigenous) cows naturally contains A2 type milk
protein.
Adulteration in milk has been a cause of concern for both the Government and the
Dairy Industry. The Indian Council of Medical Research has reported that milk adulterants
have hazardous health effects. The detergent in milk can cause food poisoning and other
Gastrointestinal complications. Its high alkaline level can also damage body tissue and
destroy proteins. Other synthetic components can cause impairments, heart problems, cancer
or even death. While the immediate effect of drinking milk adulterated with urea, caustic
soda and formalin is gastroenteritis, the long-term effects are far more serious.

OBJECTIVES:
 To develop observational approach which classifies A1 and A2 Milk.
 To employ scientific methods to distinguish between A1 and A2 Milk.
 To analysis of milk quality using electronics sensory organs.
 To build a handy electronic device for easy detection of A1 and A2 Milk and
Analysis of milk quality.

 CLASSIFICATION OF A1 AND A2 MILK AND ANALYSIS OF MILK QUALITY

METHODOLOGY:
The system mainly includes Sensors like Color Sensor, Air quality Sensor, Ultrasonic
Sensor, Fat Measuring Assembly, pH sensor and Temperature Sensor are interfaced to
Arduino Uno Microcontroller to differentiate A1 and A2 Milk and the output of this is
displayed on LCD screen. In this project we are using Arduino IDE Software connected to
the PC which has program to detect the type of the milk. After detecting the type, program
will send corresponding details to serial port and the microcontroller will read the command
and the output will be displayed on the LCD screen.
To analyze the adulterant content in the milk here four types of adulterated milk
sample are taken which can be the mixture of 2tbs of sugar, 40ml of water and 40ml of milk
or 2tbs of salt, 40ml of water and 40ml of milk or 3/4tbs of soap,40ml of water and 40ml of
milk or 2tbs of H2O2 , 40ml of water and 40ml of milk.
In the analysis part we are using sensors like conductivity sensor, viscosity sensor,
salinity sensor and the 4*4 keypad matrix are interfaced to Arduino Uno Microcontroller to
check the adulterant content present in the milk and displayed on the 20*4 LCD display.

RESULTS EXPECTED:
The milk parameters such as fat, color and thickness are measured by our system and
are consistent with standard values and PH and odor have given clear difference between A1
and A2 and we can clearly identify the content of adulterants present in the milk.
