  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.
