Abstract |
Risk analysis during cooking activities enables to build a cooking-safe system in order to enhance safety of elderly people in smart kitchen. The Kitchen is the second place where majority of domestic accidents occur, and in particular the oven presents the most principal reason of fire accidents in the residence. The paper presents insightful cooking risk analysis that permits to determine the pertinent parameters to be monitored and measured during cooking in order to prevent risks. We investigated several cooking experiments, and analyzed the composition of heated cooking materials, the concentrations of gases in the cooking smoke, and humidity. The pertinent parameters determined in this paper are: concentrations of gases in the cooking smoke, ambient temperature, utensil temperature, burner temperature, relative humidity, and presence of an object on burner. |
