I. INTRODUCTION
A. Design of sensor
Milk in this regular structure has high food value. It supplies
The sensor is SAE 316 Stainless steel rod type two terminal

contaminant[3].Around 68.7 percent of milk and milk items Display
sold in the nation is not according to the guideline set
somewhere around the India’s Food Safety and Standards
Authority (FSSAI)[2].
Urea is a typical milk element and amounts to about 55percent SAE 316 rod
of the total non-protein nitrogen in milk. The standard worth
of urea in cow and buffalo milk was assessed to be 40 mg to
70mg per 100ml, individually [5]. Current studies monitoring
adulteration in milk are mainly through the scientific Milk
procedures. With the Characterization procedures, there are Fig 1. Block system Diagram

The sensor’s accuracy, sensitivity, resolution reproducibility,
and repeatability are checked for calibration purpose at 90

The signal is measured with TBS1102B-EDU Digital
Oscilloscope (DSO) after dipping two sensor rod of 20 mm,
spaced by 10 mm in a different test sample .The experiment is
conducted on pure milk and adulterated milk with different
amounts of urea and starch. For evaluation purposes, the
frequency of the sinusoidal signal is changed from 10kHz to
10MHz with a voltage of 1Vp-p.The above procedure is
repeated to check the repeatability, accuracy, and the precision
values considered for the examination Fig 2, shows the
sinusoidal waveform as a sensor input and output as sinusoidal
waveform (Blue color-input, yellow color- output).
