Recent advances and applications of artificial intelligence and related technologies in the food industry

Abstract

In current scenario most of food processing industries are majorly focusing on quality of food, nutritional value, and method of processing as the consumers are demanding for foods lined up with qualities, sensory and shelf life of the products. Emergence of technology in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) helps to measure the drifting issues in food processing technology. AI is an interdisciplinary promising approach for promoting performances in different areas of food sectors. Tremendous changes were carried out to solve problems to grow food industries. This review emphasises the applications of AI in dairy, bakery, beverages, fruit and vegetable industries. To advance the technology multiple strategies were used in different food sectors. Relevant literature on scope of robotics in food and beverages have been reviewed and discussed critically. Further intense research in advancing 3D printing that helps to improve food business from manufacture to servicing has been discussed with future vision.
