Abstract:
In this study, a portable desktop analyzer for determination of fat content in milk is introduced. A prototype of the sensor consists of three light emitting diodes (red, green, and blue) as a light source. The transmitted light is detected by a photoresistor and continuous voltage measurements provided by the microcontroller, is recorded by a computer. The resulting univariate and multivariate models show that the developed analytical device is capable to determinate fat content in raw and homogenized milk with sufficient accuracy.
