This paper aims to develop a Machin e Learning (ML) - based system for detecting honey adulteration utilizing honey mineral element profiles. The proposed system comprises two phases: preprocessing and classification. The preprocessing phase involves the treatment of missing - value attributes a nd normalization. In the classification phase, we use three supervised ML models: logistic regression, d ecision tree, and random forest, to discriminate between authentic and adulterated honey. To evaluate the performance of the ML models, we use a public dataset comprising measurements of mineral element content of authentic honey, sugar syrups, and adulterated honey. Experimental findings show that mineral element content in honey provides robust discriminative information for detecting honey adulteration . Results also dem onstrate that the random forest - based classifier outperforms other classifiers on this dataset, achieving the highest cross - validation accuracy of 98.37%.

In this paper, we propose a system for detecting adulteration in coconut milk, utilizing infrared spectroscopy. The machine learning-based proposed system comprises three phases: preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. The first phase involves removing irrelevant data from coconut milk spectral signals. In the second phase, we employ the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithm for extracting the most discriminating features. In the third phase, we use the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) model to classify coconut milk samples into authentic or adulterated. We evaluate the performance of the proposed system using a public dataset comprising Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectral information of pure and contaminated coconut milk samples. Findings show that the proposed method successfully detects adulteration with a cross-validation accuracy of 93.33%.

This paper aims to develop a machine learning-based system for automatically detecting honey adulteration with sugar syrup, based on honey hyperspectral imaging data. First, the floral source of a honey sample is classified by a botanical origin identification subsystem. Then, the sugar syrup adulteration is identified, and its concentration is quantified by an adulteration detection subsystem. Both subsystems consist of two steps. The first step involves extracting relevant features from the honey sample using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). In the second step, we utilize the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) model to classify the honey botanical origin in the first subsystem and identify the adulteration level in the second subsystem. We assess the proposed system performance on a public honey hyperspectral image dataset. The result indicates that the proposed system can detect adulteration in honey with an overall cross-validation accuracy of 96.39%, making it an appropriate alternative to the current chemical-based detection methods.

How safe is the milk you drink? In a 2020 report published by the Consumer Guidance Society of India (CGSI), 79% of branded or loosely packed milk in Maharashtra was adulterated. In other words, barely 21% of the samples tested by CGSI complied with the standards specified by the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI). The problem of milk adulteration is not confined to only one state. In states like Punjab, for example, there are regular reports of raids being conducted by the state against illegal factories making spurious milk and milk products.

Honey has been collected and used by humankind as both a food and medicine for thousands of years. However, in the modern economy, honey has become subject to mislabelling and adulteration making it the third most faked food product in the world. The international scale of fraudulent honey has had both economic and environmental ramifications. In this paper, we propose a novel method of identifying fraudulent honey using machine learning augmented microscopy.
