Unified Measurement Cup for the Food Industry

Abstract

In the present scenario, there exists various instruments in the food industry to measure weight and volume of multiple ingredients used in certain specific sustenance that we consume. To fulfil a product recipe, serving size or quantity and quality requirements of the food served, these ingredients should be measured. These various ingredients in the food should be measured with extreme care and accuracy as it ensures that they are equally distributed in the food product, and the end flavor of all of them remains the same. At home, when mother’s bake cakes or desserts, they measure each ingredient properly to make the food taste appetizing. Multiple digitized instruments are out there in the market, but none perform multiple tasks together and also none measure temperature of the ingredients or food being prepared. Hence, in this research paper, we aim to design and develop an All-in-One measurement cup using an Arduino, force transducer and IR temperature sensors that not only saves money but also space by not investing on multiple kitchen instruments and keeping the efficiency and accuracy of the measurements precise
