Meat Freshness

This paper presents an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) system that integrates gas sensors and a custom Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify the freshness and species of beef and mutton in real time. The CNN, trained on 9,928 images, achieved 99% accuracy, outperforming models like ResNet-50, SVM, and KNN. The system uses three gas sensors (MQ135, MQ4, MQ136) to detect gases such as ammonia, methane, and hydrogen sulfide, which indicate meat spoilage.
