 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The satisfaction and euphoria that accompany the successful completion of my task would be
incomplete without the mention of people who made it possible whose constant guidance and encouragement
crowned our efforts with success. It is a pleasant aspect we have now the opportunity to express our gratitude
for all of them.
It is with immense pleasure that we would like to express our indebted gratitude toour guide Sri.
P.SHASHAVALI, M.Tech, (Ph.D) has guided us a lot and encouraged us in every step of the project work.
His valuable moral support and guidance throughout the project helped us to a great extent. We thank him for
his stimulating guidance, constant encouragement and constructive criticism which have made possible to
bring our this project work.
We wish to express our deep sense of gratitude to Mr. B. VIJAYA KUMAR, HOD of EEE Dept. has
for giving us the opportunity of doing the project and for providing a great support in completing our project
work. We feel elated to thank him for inspiring us all the wayby providing good lab facilities and helping me in
providing such good environment.
We wish to thank Dr. R. RAMACHANDRA, Principal, S.K.U. College of Engineering and
Technology, Ananthapuramu who has extended his support for the success of this project.
We especially thankful to faculty of EEE Department for giving the required information in doing our
project work. Not to forget, we thank to all the non-technical staff, our friends andclassmates who had directly
or indirectly helped and supported us in completing our project in time.
Finally, we wish to convey our gratitude to our parents who fostered all therequirements and
facilities that we need.

 ABSTRACT

Food plays a very important role in our day-to-day life. With an increase in globalization quality of
food decreases day-by-day.now most of the foods such as fruits and vegetables are preserved with chemicals
which causes food contamination. This contamination leads to various diseases which results that consumer
wants the healthy food. The people want organic food is for healthy lifestyle. So, to avoid the problem which
is associated with food without human interpretation we need such a device which helps to determine the
quality of food. And in warehouses and the cold storages we have to maintain a specific temperature and
humidity values and also light intensity and gas sensors also. This will help us to reduce the food wastage and
it is easy to inspect the food. And this device is very cost effective.
