Photonics alcohol detector system for Syari'Ah compliance food and beverages
In food production, sugars (a type of carbohydrate) are widely used to make the food or beverages taste sweet and delicious. Both natural and manufactured beverages may contain a small amount of alcohol (specifically ethanol) as sugar based food is fermentable into alcohol. Therefore, Muslim consume...

In food production, sugars (a type of carbohydrate) are widely used to make the food or beverages taste sweet and delicious. Both natural and manufactured beverages may contain a small amount of alcohol (specifically ethanol) as sugar based food is fermentable into alcohol. Therefore, Muslim consumers must be aware that the allowable percentage of alcohol to exist in the food as mentioned by the Shari'ah is only 0.01%. The main inspiration of this work is to develop a low cost yet reliable alcohol percentage detector for non-alcoholics beverages. The optical properties of beverages that respond to the infrared radiation in the optical wavelengths and frequencies range are thoroughly studied. In the proposed model, percentage of ethanol in the beverages is directly determined by using the first derivative of near-infrared (NIR) absorbance spectrum where the range of wavelength used is from 1680 nm to 1700 nm.
