Problem Statement :
Create a system using Arduino that can detect when fruits are starting to spoil.
The system should be able to measure temperature, humidity, and gas levels to
determine the freshness of the fruit. It should alert the user when the fruit is at
risk of spoiling. The goal is to prevent fruit wastage and maintain fruit quality.

Abstract
In the modern era of technology and with increasing dependency on smart
techniques like mobile phone, there is requirement of solving daily life tasks in a
quick and easy ways.
This project is based on fruit detection system using Arduino. The
microcontroller panel has the capability to perform functions which include
interpreting inputs and outputs and make the sensor to activate.

Generally fruit is stored in the refrigerator that lowers down the bacteria rate of
production. Certain items which are perishable or not used for long term are to
be detected and informed to the user.

This project is basically discussed to solve the fruit spoilage through sensors by
continuously sensing the signals from the fruit and by displaying the Ph value of
methane on the 16*2 LCD panel along LED .

Keywords: - Spoiled food detection, Arduino, MQ4 Methane gas sensor, LCD
display.

Introduction

The fruit we take can affect in any form of impurity that may happen due to
storage or chemical changes within the fruit. In some countries, majority of
people struggles on daily basis for fruit , due to preservation of fruit and use of
chemicals to artificially increase the time span of fruit causes people illness.

It is mandatory to grow a system that can assist people to identify the elegance of
fruit or quality of fruit items. The quality of the fruit should checked to prevent it
from spoiling under different environment conditions like temperature, humidity,
vegetable/fruit characteristics , which will be helpful to check quality through
different techniques.

The sensor senses the fruit quality through change in its colour. There are
various signal processing and pattern recognition techniques to detect fruit intake
time through sensors.

The rotted or not fit for usage fruit causes a major fruit related illness called as
fruit / food poisoning, this is one of the diseases along with various other such
diseases related to spoiled fruit.

One of the main objectives of the fruit spoiler detector is that it will detect the
gas released from the spoiled fruit and tell the user that the fruit is spoiled and
take a look over fruit.

Block Diagram
Modules of the Project:
Arduino UNO:

The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board based on the Microchip

ATmega328P microcontroller and developed by Arduino.cc. The board is equipped with
sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion
boards (shields) and other circuits. The board has 14 digital I/O pins (six capable of PWM
output), 6analog I/O pins, and is programmable with the Arduino IDE (Integrated
Development Environment), via a type B USB cable. It can be powered by the USB cable or
by an external 9-volt battery though it accepts voltages between 7 and 20 volts. It is similar
to the Arduino Nano and Leonardo.

MQ4 METHANE GAS SENSOR:

MQ4 Methane Gas Sensor detects the concentration of methane gas in the air and outputs its
reading as an analog voltage. The concentration sensing range of 300 ppm to 10,000 ppm is
suitable for leak detection. For example, the sensor could detect if someone left a gas stove
on but not lit.

16x2 LCD DISPLAY:

The term LCD stands for liquid crystal display. It is one kind of electronic display module
used in an extensive range of applications like various circuits & devices like mobile
phones, calculators, computers, TV sets, etc. These displays are mainly preferred for multi-
segment light-emitting diodes and seven segments. The main benefits of using this module
are inexpensive; simply programmable, animations, and there are no limitations for
displaying custom characters, special and even animations, etc.

Buzzer:

An audio signaling device like a beeper or buzzer main function of this is to convert the
signal from audio to sound. It is provided through DC voltage and used in timers, alarm
devices, etc. Based on the various design it can generate different sound.

LED:

The lighting emitting diode is a p-n junction diode. It is a specially doped diode and made
up of special type of semiconductors. When the light emits in the forward biased then it is
called a light emitting diode.
Flow Chart :

Result :
The microcontroller board Arduino Uno along with fruit detection sensor MQ3 senses the
gases coming out from the rotten fruit and displays the ph value of methane on the 16*2
LCD display along with the LED to the user as an output.

Images of Project :

Conclusion :
The early detection of the gases from different fruit items like ammonia, methane
etc. can help the gas sensor to detect gas emission from fruit items even before
the presence of any visible sign of spoilage. The consumer gets the information
about the fruit item wherein he can monitor the perish ability of that fruit item.
This will help in maintenance of health and prevents the consumer from
consuming bad fruit . The use of technology helps in fruit and food processing
industry wherein they can mention the duration of perish ability of the fruit item
on the packet so that proper control on consumption can be done. The
monitoring and detection of the fruit items is very necessary as most of the
consumers buy fruit from the malls wherein date of expiry is important
parameter.

Future Scope:
The scope of the proposed system can be expanded by including more products
like dairy, foods etc. The system can incorporate different other sensors like
pressure, temperature, moisture etc. Different other techniques like nano
technology, artificial neutral network can be also be used for further
improvement in result. These techniques can use this data for better result in
future about fruit spoilage.
