Abstrakt: In this paper, the adulteration detection in mustard oil is performed using the non-destructive (ND) novel multi-frequency resonant radio frequency (RF) sensor. The proposed sensor uses the permittivity values (calculated with the help of scattering parameter) as a parameter for quantifying the adulterated mustard oil. A diamond shaped RF sensor with microfluidic channel is proposed for monitoring mustard oil adulteration. The mustard oil is used as oil under test (OuT), whereas coconut, refined and olive oil as adulteration under test (AuT). The novelty of the proposed RF sensor is to enhance the accuracy and precision for the OuT for testing the adulteration content. The sensor resonates at multiple frequency enabling the enhanced differentiability for the different quantity of AuT mixed with OuT. The simulation is performed for optimization of the microfluidic channel and resonant frequency. The sensor is fabricated and tested for different quantity of AuT mixed with OuT and performance matrix is obtained. The sensitivity observed is 0.1 for the oil adulteration detection with the proposed device. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
