IOT BASED FOOD DEGRADATION DETECTION SYSTEM

This paper presents an Internet of Things (IoT) - based system for Smart Food Degradation Detection using an ESP32 microcontroller integrated with temperature, humidity, and gas sensors. The system continuously monitors environmental factors that influence food degradation and sends real-time data to Firebase for storage and analysis. A web- based interface is developed to display sensor data, providing a live dashboard with real-time updates on food conditions. Automated decision-making algorithms trigger alerts when spoilage is detected based on predefined sensor thresholds. The system can send notifications via SMS and email. This IoT- based technology provides a costeffective and efficient substitute for manual, conventional food inspection techniques by utilizing cloud storage for previous data. The suggested solution seeks to minimize waste and improve food storage procedures while giving businesses useful information about food quality and spoiling detection.
