At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

IIT researchers invention will allow your smartphone to check for milk purity

Led by professor Shiv Govind Singh from the Department of Electrical Engineering and associate professors Soumya Jana and Siva Rama Krishna Vanjari, the research work was recently published by the Food Analytical Methods journal.

The team first developed a detector system that incorporates the use of indicator paper to measure the acidity in milk. They then developed a prototype smartphone-compatible algorithm that can accurately detect the colour change. Using the phone camera, the colour change in the sensor strips after they are dipped in milk is captured and then this data is transformed into pH (acidity) ranges.

Using three machine-learning algorithms, the researchers compared their detection efficiencies in classifying the colour of the indicator strips. Upon testing various milk samples with varying combinations of contaminants, they found a near-perfect classification with an accuracy of 99.71 per cent.

There are no reports about when this will be available to the general public, but development is on the way.
