Detoxive uses the most advanced artificial intelligence models and machine vision algorithms as well as image processing techniques to accurately detect aflatoxin.
The Detoxive device detects the permissible level of aflatoxin toxins in peanuts and corn without damaging the sample. The hyperspectral camera used in it detects the spectral characteristics of the sample with very high accuracy.
By analyzing the radiation spectrum caused by the toxin (fluorescence) and separating it from the radiation spectrum of the sample, the amount of aflatoxin toxin can be detected.
This product has two parts, software and hardware, which can be used to detect the dangerous amount of aflatoxin in corn and peanut samples.
The hardware part of this product will consist of electric rails (with the ability to adjust the movement speed), a UV lamp, a hyperspectral camera, and an optical filter. Due to aflatoxin's 365 nm fluorescence, a UV lamp at this wavelength will provide evidence of aflatoxin's presence. By irradiating the sample with UV light, the aflatoxin toxin will emit fluorescence and be distinguished from the rest of the sample.
At this stage, the hyperspectral camera will be responsible for capturing images. The reason for using this camera is that it will detect a wavelength range of 400-850 nm for each pixel of the image with an accuracy of 2 nm, which allows us to receive changes in radiation peaks due to the presence of toxins. By measuring the fluorescence peaks of the fluorescence camera, the dose of toxin in it will be measured. If this amount is more than allowed, the software will display it in a different color.
Advantages of using a hyperspectral camera:
The software is designed based on Windows, which is user-friendly. The speed and accuracy of the analysis can be defined. One of its unique features is identifying samples with a dose higher than the allowable amount of aflatoxin toxin. In addition, it will be able to display the weight percentage of infected and healthy samples separately.
