Presents a low-cost method to identify milk adulteration using image analysis and machine learning, indicating a promising solution for food safety.

The research aims to develop an accessible method for detecting milk adulteration using simple image analysis and machine learning techniques.
Collected digital photographs of milk samples adulterated with water, detergent, starch, and synthetic milk.
Analyzed images for brightness, variation, skewness, and kurtosis to assess adulteration.
Employed principal component analysis to simplify data for classification.
Utilized support vector machines to distinguish between pure and adulterated samples.
Achieved approximately 85% accuracy in identifying various adulterants in milk samples.
Observed that adding water increased mean intensity, while other adulterants affected skewness and kurtosis patterns.
Demonstrated that the method is faster and more cost-effective compared to traditional spectroscopic methods.
