Abstract
Milk is consumed in large quantities across the world and quality of milk is important to consumer. Multilayer packaging is one of solution to maintain quality of milk for prolonged period. However, quality of milk may change due to issues in handling, transportation, environment, and packaging. Currently available techniques fail to detect milk quality when packaging is opaque. Hence, common methods that are used for detecting quality of milk cannot be easily used over packaged milk. Present application provides non-invasive method and system for detecting quality of packaged milk. More specifically, system uses a sensing technique enabled in a capacitive Near-field communication (NFC) tag and an NFC enabled device for detecting quality of the packaged milk in real-time. In particular, the capacitive NFC tag is configured to provide milk quality information on NFC enabled device when NFC enabled device comes near capacitive NFC tag configured on packaged container.
