TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

In the preparation of traditional Asian dishes such as soups, curries, and noodles, achieving the perfect balance of saltiness is crucial for flavor consistency. However, many chefs, food manufacturers, and home cooks rely on subjective taste assessments, which can lead to inconsistent results. This becomes particularly challenging when scaling up for mass production or when catering to individuals with specific dietary needs. Current salinity testing methods are often cumbersome, require lab equipment, or are not tailored for quick, accurate, and portable use in kitchen environments, making it difficult to ensure the precise salt levels necessary for quality control.

The technology provides a quick, accurate solution for measuring salinity in liquid foods like soups, curries, and noodles, ensuring consistent flavor balance. Its portable design and easy calibration with saline solution make it convenient for chefs, food manufacturers, and home cooks alike. The device displays precise salinity levels and uses intuitive facial icons for easy interpretation. By eliminating guesswork, the technology helps maintain flavor consistency, improves efficiency, and meets dietary requirements with precision.

The technology owner is seeking partners in healthcare, catering, and food manufacturing for licensing and IP acquisition of the technology.
