The classic method for testing for milk freshness is to give it a quick sniff check. If it smells "bad", then it probably is. This is great, as long as your sense of smell is working. But maybe covid, congenital anosmia, a stuffy cold, or something else has reduced your sense of smell. What then?
In this guide we investigate the potential for using a gas sensor as a way to test for milk freshness. An SGP30 and a CLUE are used to make a little "freshness checker" device. We then use this in a simple experiment to see if it can detect spoiled milk.
This project does NOT require any soldering and is a great little science experiement
Do you feel like you just don't have a CLUE? Well, we can help with that - get a CLUE here at Adafruit by picking up this sensor-packed development board. We wanted to build some...
