However, in local areas to increase the yield certain adulterants are added which may affect the nutritional quality of milk. The Country milk producers and consumers facing problem to find the quality of milk, accept the fair of price and consumption. So, it is necessary to ensure the quality of milk by measuring type and amount of adulterants that are added to the milk. This is performed by using combined electronic sensory instrumental system such as a temperature sensor, density measurement sensor and two conductivity electrodes, one measures pH and the other measures water content in milk. All the sensors are combined to form compact and flexible system which analyses and classify the quality of milk into different grades and finally output displayed through mobile app. Problem faced in small diaries and by the individuals can be prevented by detecting the quality of milk. By using presto the proposed IoT Based Intelligent Sensing Mechanism to Detect Quality of Milk parameters like FAT, SNF can be measured. Conventional method of instrumental assessment techniques are time consuming, tedious, expensive and require elaborate sample preparation and in practice, expert human panels have to be employed to judge the qualitative parameters in dairy industries. proposed IoT Based Intelligent Sensing Mechanism reduces the problems faced by conventional method and it is more compact and portable in size.\u201d (This abstract has been provided as is and has not been corrected for errors.)<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>INDIA PATENT NEWS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>NLUJA, Assam invites applications for IPR Chair Professor <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">National Law University and Judicial Academy, Assam is inviting applicants for the IPR Chair Professor vacancy, at the University.
