Consumer Fresh Milk Thermometer Device
(protoype)
This is a NXT prototype of our Consumer Fresh Milk Thermometer that measures the surface temperature of a carton or container. If the temperature is above 41 degrees (FDA maximum temperature for refrigerating milk) the consumer is given a warning sound & display with the temperature. If the temperature reads between 37 and 41 degrees, the temperature is displayed with a range of how long the milk will be fresh after the Sell By Date. If the temperature reads between 32 and 36 degrees, the temperature is displayed along with a range of how long the milk will be fresh after the Sell By Date. This is based on experiments we did refrigerating milk at different temperatures. (See the NXT-G program below.) The device would be compact, about the size of cell phone such as a Smartphone.
This was one of our innovations for our Research Project.
