ABSTRACT: The milk is the important nutrition for human being. The good quality milk should be free from
the adulterants. Milk is mostly sold by local vendors as well as by super markets. However, in local areas to increase
the quantity of milk certain adulterants are added which may affect the nutritional quality of milk. Milk adulteration
is a social problem. The problem of adulteration is faced by both Indian and foreign countries .Utilization of
adulterated milk causes severe health problems and a great concern to the food industry. The Country milk
producers and consumers facing problem to find the quality of milk, accept the fair of price and consumption. So it
is necessary to ensure the quality of milk by measuring the vital parameters present in the milk and the adulterants
that are added to the milk. Here we are measuring the different parameters of milk such as pH, turbidity,
conductivity, odor, temperature using sensors. Also with the help of IOT (Internet of Things) process the milk
industry should be able to send the real time reading information of milk to the government so that it helps to
overcome the illegal things such as milk quality during the production of milk packet .This proposed system is
implemented using Atmega 328 microcontroller. All the sensors are combined to form compact and flexible system
which analyze and classify the quality of milk into different grades and finally output displayed on LCD screen.
Problem faced in small diaries and by the individuals can be prevented by detecting the quality of milk, and also
prevent from causing the hazardous diseases by detecting the adulteration of milk.
Keywords: AVR microcontroller, IOT, sensors, adulteration in milk.

I. INTRODUCTION
Milk is the primary source of the nutrition for young mammals before they able to digest other types of food. In India milk
production gives comparatively higher profit to both farmers and dairy farms. Throughout the world, more than 11 billion consumers
of milk and milk products are there and 70% of child deaths every year are attributed to malnutrition. Thus milk is a major food for
the infants. Now a day the milk adulteration is mostly detected using various tests.The quality and immunity of raw milk is essential
for the dairy products. The nutritional value of milk to human health needs no introduction; it also has traditional impact on Indian
society. At the same time it is alarming that many vendors adulterating it with water, detergents, caustic soda, sodium carbonate
which has harmful effect on the human health especially small kids.
Moreover, keeping the milk for the storage purpose for long duration there is the rapid multiplication of bacteria. We know that, in
order to make good dairy products, good quality of raw materials is needful. A milk seller and consumer will be assured of the quality
of raw milk if certain basic quality tests are carried out at various stages.
As milk infection is a growing cause for human illness and death, there is a continually increasing demand to maintain the safe milk
supply. There is a need to analyze the quality of milk from getting illness especially for the small kids. So we have proposed this topic
to detect the adulteration and to check the quality of milk. In this project it is going to analyze the quality of milk by detecting
adulterants that are added. This project mainly has different parameters to be measured such as pH, odor, temperature, conductivity,
turbidity.

II. PROBLEM DEFINITION
Today, there are three major problems namely Food Safety, Human Safety and Water Safety. In that we choose Food Safety. Now
a day, milk is major food which is mostly consumed by the infants. By taking survey about milk quality, we came to know that the
vendors are adulterating the milk and because of that society did not consume good quality of milk. So we have decided to do project
for providing good quality milk by Milk Quality analyzer. Everyone in the society need to know the quality of milk which they are
consuming it. In India, milk is sold and consumed all over the world. However; dairy industries faces several challenges and obstacles
in terms of food quality and safety. This project aims to develop a device for milk quality analysis. Milk quality analyzer is use to
approve the tests of milk and to ensure that the standards concerning the milk and milk products. The tests are designed in such a way
which tells whether it meets the standards for the milk products or not.

III. SYSTEM DESIGN

BLOCK DIAGRAM

The block diagram of IOT based milk quality analyzer using AVR microcontroller is shown in the above figure. In this
implemented system, milk adulteration is detected with the help of pH, turbidity, odor, temperature, conductivity sensors. To make
the system IOT based there is an use of Wi-Fi module. Hence, it is possible to interface the system with android phone or PC.
Consider different samples of milk which includes fresh milk which is processed as per the standards and milk which is contaminated
by toxicity, which also includes milk which is preserved for long hours. Now the samples are accordingly monitored one after the
other. In general, the test will be performed with reference to standard parameter values according to which any abnormalities found
in the samples will be determining its quality. As specified earlier about the five modules involved, the working method of those is as
follows:

(a) pH sensor: Every liquid has its own pH value according to temperature and other dependent parameters. So the standard fresh
milk has pH of range 6.5-6.7, above and below this range is totally considered as abnormalities in its quality. Here it monitors the pH
and provides a visual alert via LCD, which displays the pH level and indicates whether the tested milk is normal or abnormal, in
simple words good quality or bad quality.

(b) Temperature sensor: Milk has its own temperature criteria which should be maintained during storage, even if the milk is mixed
with water or with any toxic materials the temperature of the milk will not be in the normal range. Generally milk will be safe at the
standard temperature range above or below which the formation of bacteria occurs and thus not fit for consumption. The survey will
be carried out on safe temperature zone according to which the LCD will display the quality of milk.

(c) Odor sensor: The concentration of odor will vary from fresh milk to toxic milk. When the toxicity in milk is high it tends to
release toxic gases which come out as bad odor from the milk when milk is preserved for a very long time or due to external
contamination. So we detect the gases releasing out from sample which are nothing but bad odor in general. After any such detection
of gases the quality of milk will be displayed on LCD.

(d) Conductivity Sensor: Conductivity (or Electrolytic Conductivity) is defined as the ability of a substance to conduct electrical
current. It is the reciprocal of the resistance. Added water, sugar, proteins, insoluble solids then Decrease the ion's concentration. Milk
conductivity decreases.

(e) Turbidity sensor: Turbidity is the phenomenon where by a specific portion of a light beam passing through a liquid medium is
deflected from undissolved particles. After any such detection of impurity, the quality of milk will be displayed on LCD.

IV. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Switch on the power supply. Connect wiFi module with the internet. Press push to on button if no then wait for the net connection
and if yes add one in counter. If counter is one then it will measure the fat present in milk. If counter is 2 then it will measure
conductivity. If counter is 3 then it will measure pH value. If counter is 4 then it will measure temperature and odor value. Counter
value will increment by pressing push to on button. According to the loop, the values related to each sensor will be displayed in the
lcd screen also on and android application.

Android Application used:

Blynk application
Blynk is a new platform that allows you to quickly build interfaces for controlling and monitoring your hardware projects from
your iOS and Android device. After downloading the Blynk app, you can create a project dashboard and arrange buttons, sliders,
graphs, and other widgets onto the screen. Using the widgets, you can turn pins on and off or display data from sensors. Whatever
your project is, there are likely hundreds of tutorials that make the hardware part pretty easy, but building the software interface is still
difficult.

With Blynk, though, the software side is even easier than the hardware. Blynk is perfect for interfacing with simple projects like
monitoring the temperature of your fish tank or turning lights on and off remotely. Currently, Blynk supports most Arduino boards,
Raspberry Pi models, the ESP8266, Particle Core, and a handful of other common microcontrollers and single-board computers,
and more are being added over time. Arduino Wi-Fi and Ethernet shields are supported, though you can also control devices plugged
into a computer’s USB port as well.
