DEVELOPMENT OF MICROCONTROLLER BASED INSTRUMENT FOR CHECKING QUALITY OF EDIBLE OILS

Sahil Bhardwaj, Amarjit Singh

Abstract: Edible oils plays a very important role in human beings in third generation , because lots of people suffer from fat , asthama , blood pressure , etc due to consuming a lower quality of oils in their daily life , so I decided to design and develop an instrument which can easily display the quality of oil on the basis of some parameters . The one of the main reason of lowering down the quality of oil is carbon due to heating, so if we can measure the amount or percentage of carbon in the oil we can prevent so many bad things to happen. So I have designed a low cost microcontroller based instrument which measures the amount of carbon in oil by measuring capacitance of oil with the help of a capacitive sensor[1].This is not only the one application of this instrument , this instrument also plays an important role in automobile industries , as it can be used for checking the condition of mobile oils in vehicles , in today’s busy life people don’t have time to check engine oil , power steering oil even they don’t have time to maintain their own vehicle , so I thought if I put this type of instrument as an indicator at the meter section of cars and motorbikes people can read out the condition of engine oil and before the oil goes into the worst condition they can change their oils.This instrument can also be used by various food departments etc where they can check various samples of different companies and decides the price of oils and can check the quality whether the quality of oil is in safe range or not
