Identification of Sulphur Added Copra Using Drying Process

Abstract

The characteristics of fruits are varying based on moisture content. The sulphur is fumigated to copra as preservative. As per WHO report the 65% children are suffered with asthmatic are sensitive and 75% of children are changes in behavior. It is difficult to identify sulphur added copra manually. In this proposed work drying process is used to identify the sulphur content of copra by comparative analysis with normal copra. The drying process leads to change in features like shape, colour and texture content of copra. The copra is dried in tray drier at 60°C for a regular interval of time. The image is capture at regular interval of time, GLCM features are extracted and compared between sulphur added and normal copra. The results are analyzed at different levels.
