Turmeric is a widely used spice famous for its vivid color, flavor, and purported health advantages. Its medicinal properties in addressing various health issues have sparked a surge in global demand, raising concerns about the spice industry’s integrity. The most common and hazardous adulterants of turmeric, added for financial gain, are synthetic, non-authorized azo dyes, particularly Metanil Yellow (MY). To tackle malpractices in the turmeric supply chain, this study proposes a scalable method utilizing a miniaturized near-infrared (NIR) (1350–2500 nm) sensor coupled with advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to detect the presence of MY in turmeric.
