Artificial Intelligence and Food Science examines a range of applications from pre- and post-harvest management to food packaging and the dairy industry, providing a thorough overview of how AI is revolutionizing these industries. The initial chapters introduce the fundamentals of AI and its recent advancements, covering key areas such as Constraint Satisfaction Problems, Adversarial Search, and Statistical Learning Theory. The book then moves on to explore AI applications in pre- and post-harvest management and highlights techniques such as machine vision and spectral imaging for non-destructive analysis of agricultural products.The role of AI in the fat and oil processing industry, specifically the use of bioinformatics predictive methods based on artificial neural network (ANN) is discussed in detail. Subsequent chapters probe the use of AI in the processing of fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat, and detail how technologies like neural networks and Industry 4.0 innovations can drive improvements in product quality. Later chapters explore AI applications in the baking and confectionery industries, with a focus on automation and 3D printing technologies that are setting new standards for production and product design.Functions as an accessible book on artificial intelligence and smart techniques employed in the food industryDescribes how AI applications enhance efficiency and reliability in various food sector processesProvides in-depth information on the current challenges faced by the food industry in implementing AI and offers possible solutionsEnables food researchers and industrialists to make informed decisions about adopting AI and smart techniques over conventional methodsOffers PowerPoint slides and a test bank for instructors and students
