A Review: Artificial Neural Networks as Tool for Control Food Industry Process
Open accessAbstract
In the last year, interest in using Artificial Neural networks as a modeling tool in food technology is increasing because they have found extensive utilization in solving many complex real world problems. Due to this and as previous step at development of some project, this paper intends to introduce the reader inside neural networks: general characteristics of the ANN, their architectures, their rules of learning, types of networks and ANN’s create process. Also this paper presents a comprehensive review of food industrial applications of artificial neural networks in the last year. ANN industrial applications are grouped and tabulated by their main functions and what they actually performed on the referenced papers with except the applications in the olive oil industry that are described with special emphasis.

Off-line analyses of the multitude of media components in fluctuating media (e.g. wastewater) may be circumvented by spectroscopic techniques measuring real-time nutrient responses of cells inside a reactor.
“Similarly, off-line analyses of the multitude of media components in fluctuating media (e.g. wastewater) requiring laborious and costly analysis may be circumvented by using spectroscopic techniques measuring real-time nutrient responses of cells inside a reactor [101].”
From Microalgal process-monitoring based on high-selectivity spectroscopy tools: status and future perspectives (2018) · cites this paper as [101]
The section on olive-oil applications describes real-time spectral analysis during oil extraction and ANN estimates of pollutants in olive-oil mill wastewater, but not nutrient responses of cells inside a reactor. A search for spectroscopic cell responses and replacement of off-line analyses found no passage addressing that claim; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.74)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
