Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage spoilage detection technology, specifically a plant-based beverage spoilage detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Cudweed, also known as Qingming vegetable, bone-chasing wind, and Buddha's ear grass, is an annual herb belonging to the genus Cudweed in the Asteraceae family. The stem is erect or the lower branches ascend obliquely. The leaves are sessile, spatulate-oblanceolate or obovate-spatulate. The flower heads are numerous or few, with yellow to pale yellow flowers. The achenes are obovate or obovate-cylindrical. The pappus is coarse and easily detached. Cudweed is widely distributed in Asian countries, including China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, and the Indochina Peninsula. It is highly adaptable, growing in moist environments such as fields, grasslands, and riverbanks. It is not particular about soil requirements and is tolerant of pollution and pests, usually existing in the wild. Cudweed is rich in trace elements such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium, and contains flavonoids, amino acids, volatile oils, stigmasterol, alkaloids, and other active ingredients, possessing high nutritional and medicinal value. Cudweed has a wide range of applications; in traditional medicine, it is used to treat boils, diarrhea, leukorrhea, and hypertension. In agriculture, it can be used as feed for chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, as well as a raw material for biological pesticides. In the cosmetics industry, some extracts can be used in skincare products to exert antioxidant effects. In the food and health product industry, it can be used to make plant-based beverages, sweeteners, and antioxidants.

[0003] Currently, besides cudweed, many other herbs are widely used in the production of plant-based beverages. Determining the shelf life during beverage production requires regular sampling and testing. Ensuring the safe consumption of finished plant-based beverages within their shelf life also necessitates regular testing of key indicators (such as microbial content, pH value, and oxidation level). However, traditional testing methods (such as microbial culture and high-performance liquid chromatography) suffer from problems such as long testing cycles, complex operations, poor portability, and high costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a rapid, portable, and low-cost testing technology to address these issues in existing technologies, enabling real-time monitoring and spoilage warnings for plant-based beverages, ensuring product safety, and reducing losses.
