GLOBAL ON-LINE FINALS December 4th , 2013

The Food Detectives present a revolutionary solution to combat food adulteration and ensure optimal nutrition intake. A smartphone equipped with chemical analyzers allows users to analyze food content easily. This innovation promotes food transparency, aiding individuals with calorie restrictions and dietary concerns. By leveraging mobile technology, this product empowers users to make informed food choices and monitor their intake closely. Collaboration between the food sector and technical industry is necessary for product manufacturing and promotion, targeting gyms, hospitals, and nutrition experts. The use of Chemical Sensors for Biomedical, Food, and Environmental Applications (CSBFEA) ensures rapid and affordable food quality assessment through optical and electrochemical sensors, enabling lasting positive impact and social change.

  2. THE FOOD DETECTIVES PRESENT, SMARTPHONES WITH CHEMICAL ANALYSERS

  3. INDIA – The Food Detectives Using a combination of the STEM knowledge and entrepreneurial skills in your team, come up with a innovative, commercially viable solution (product, scheme or service) to a prominent issue effecting your community.  How will your solution make a lasting positive impact and create social change. How can mobile technology play a role?  

  4. THE PROBLEM • Food Adulteration • People with Calorie Restrictions and Optimum Nutrition • Unhealthy contents in food items

  5. THE SOLUTION • A Smartphone with chemical analysers. • An analyser in the shape of a retractable spoon is installed in the Smartphone which when dipped in food stuffs analyses the food content • This allows greater portability • Enables people to keep a tab on their food intake and knowing the components of the food they have.

  6. INNOVATION • This is an innovation as it allows more people to know their food intake. • The device is portable and can be carried to restaurants, and can even be used to check adulteration. • The Smartphone can therefore become smarter and act as a nutrition expert.

  7. FINANCES AND IMPLEMENTATION • The food sector and the technical industry need to collaborate and manufacture the product. • The device includes the Smartphone, and the chemical analyser and the cost is approximately Rs.5000/-(for the analyzer) over the original Smartphone price. • The product can be promoted by gyms, hospitals and nutrition experts.

  8. TECHNOLOGY • Chemical Sensors for Biomedical, Food and Environmental Applications(CSBFEA), used to determine Biogenic compounds • Its redox state provides a means by which the quality of food product can be established rapidly and inexpensively by using chemical (optical and/or electrochemical) sensors.
