Portable Multi-Sensor Device for Real-Time Detection of Food borne Pathogens and Contamination

Foodborne illnesses pose a major public health risk globally, leading to millions of sickness and fatalities each year. Traditional food safety testing methods are primarily relied on Laboratory based testing, making almost impractical for everyday consumer use and real-time monitoring in restaurants or supply chain. The proposed idea "Portable Multi- Sensor Device for Real- Time Detection of Food borne Pathogens and Contamination" Device aims to address these limitations by offering a compact, efficient, and user-friendly solution for real-time detection of food contamination. This device integrates advanced biosensors (ELISA Chip), electrochemical sensors, and optical sensors (TCS3200 RGB) pact with a microcontroller (ESP32) to identify a various range of foodborne hazards, including pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Campylobacter and more. It also able to detect toxins like Aflatoxins, Botulinum Toxin, Mycotoxins pesticides, and chemical residues like BPA (Bisphenol A), Nitrate and Nitrite Levels. The Goal is to make food safety easily accessible, reliable and fast. This will definitely be a ground-breaking innovation to reduce food borne illness, improve public health outcome, eventually increasing the food quality in food supply chain.
