A
system for AI-driven
quality assessment and adulteration detection in clarified butter, the
system includes: a
data acquisition and
processing unit comprising a multispectral imaging unit configured to capture high-resolution images of ghee samples under controlled illumination conditions, the module also comprising a temperature-stabilized
sample chamber with optically transparent walls to ensure uniform
light scattering and minimize shadow artifacts; a
chemical measurement subsystem capable of performing at least one
conventional analysis, including gravimetric
moisture determination, Baudouin reaction or spectroscopic profiling, wherein the subsystem is operationally connected to a microfluidic
cartridge for
sample handling and
reagent dispensing; An annotated data repository configured to store captured images along with chemical and physical adulteration measurements. The repository includes a structured
relational database encoding
metadata, including
batch number, sample origin, illumination parameters, and adulteration
metrics. a
deep learning inference machine incorporating convolutional neural networks (CNNs), where the
machine is trained on the annotated
data store to detect forgery signatures, including variations in color gradients, crystalline microstructures, and spectral reflectance profiles; an automated Baudouin
test analysis pipeline in which sequential image frames of the
reaction chamber are captured and processed using a color segmentation technique in conjunction with AI-driven classification to quantify the adulteration of clarified butter with reduced subjectivity; and A
user interface integrated into a
mobile device, an industrial console, or a cloud-accessible platform, configured to generate non-destructive, real-time reports of counterfeiting, with these reports including predicted counterfeit levels, confidence
metrics, and regulatory compliance thresholds.
