Abstract-In this work, an intrinsic fiber optic sensor (IFOS) for identifying antioxidants in Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) extract is developed. Blueberries are well known for having a lot of antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which are important for human health. The sensor uses fiber optic technology, which benefits from its high sensitivity and quick reaction time, to offer a non-invasive and effective method of antioxidant detection. We describe the sensor’s architecture, functionality, and testing process in detail. High sensitivity and accuracy were demonstrated when the sensor was calibrated using known antioxidant concentrations in Blueberry extracts. Examining bioactive chemicals in agricultural products and quickly evaluating food quality may benefit greatly from this innovative method of antioxidant detection.
