Abstract: Organic products are becoming increasingly popular due to their perceived health and environmental benefits. However, ensuring the quality and safety of organic products is crucial to maintain consumer trust and meet regulatory requirements. One critical aspect of ensuring product quality and safety is effective temperature management throughout the supply chain.Temperature plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of organic products. Organic products are often perishable and susceptible to spoilage, making temperature control essential to prevent bacterial growth, enzymatic reactions, and degradation of nutritional value. Moreover, fluctuations in temperature can potentially compromise the organic integrity of the products, leading to loss of organic certification.To effectively monitor the quality and safety of organic products, a comprehensive temperature management system is vital. This system should include temperature monitoring devices, such as data loggers or sensors, which can track temperature variations during transportation, storage, and distribution. These devices should accurately record temperature readings at frequent intervals and provide real-time alerts in case of temperature deviations.Food safety and hygiene is a major concern in order to prevent the food wastage. The Quality of the food needs to be monitored and it must be prevented from rotting and decaying by the atmospheric factors like temperature, humidity and dark. Therefore, it is useful to deploy quality monitoring devices at food stores. These quality monitoring devices keep a watch on the environmental factor that cause or pace up decay of the food. Later, the environmental factors can be controlled like by refrigeration, vacuum storage etc. In this paper, a similar food quality monitoring device will be designed that will keep watch of environmental factors like temperature, humidity, alcohol content and exposure to light. The device is built on Arduino UNO which is a popular prototyping board. The Arduino board is interfaced with various sensors like DHT-11 to monitor temperature and humidity, MQ135 to detect Ammonia content,MQ136 to detect Hydrogen Sulphide.The Relay is used to Fan On/off status in the room.The sensed values from the different sensor are viewed on an web application.Based on the sensor’s data the appropriate data is captured and manipulated based on the limit given in the software.This is an IoT device and sends the measured sensor data to an IoT platform. This interfaced with the Arduino.
