Machine Learning Algorithms and Fundamentals as Emerging Safety Tools in Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables: A Review

Abstract

Machine learning assists with food process optimization techniques by developing a model to predict the optimal solution for given input data. Machine learning includes unsupervised and supervised learning, data pre-processing, feature engineering, model selection, assessment, and optimization methods. Various problems with food processing optimization could be resolved using these techniques. Machine learning is increasingly being used in the food industry to improve production efficiency, reduce waste, and create personalized customer experiences. Machine learning may be used to improve ingredient utilization and save costs, automate operations such as packing and labeling, and even forecast consumer preferences to develop personalized products. Machine learning is also being used to identify food safety hazards before they reach the consumer, such as contaminants or spoiled food. The usage of machine learning in the food sector is predicted to rise in the near future as more businesses understand the potential of this technology to enhance customer experience and boost productivity. Machine learning may be utilized to enhance nano-technological operations and fruit and vegetable preservation. Machine learning algorithms may find trends regarding various factors that impact the quality of the product being preserved by examining data from prior tests. Furthermore, machine learning may be utilized to determine optimal parameter combinations that result in maximal produce preservation. The review discusses the relevance of machine learning in ready-to-eat foods and its use as a safety tool for preservation were highlighted. The application of machine learning in agriculture, food packaging, food processing, and food safety is reviewed. The working principle and methodology, as well as the principles of machine learning, were discussed.

Optimization of Vegetable Restocking and Pricing Strategies for Innovating Supermarket Operations Utilizing a Combination of ARIMA, LSTM, and FP-Growth Algorithms

“…In this context, the ARIMA model emerges as a suitable tool for time series analysis and forecasting [26]. This model captures the intricacies of data trends and seasonality by integrating three key components: the autoregressive (AR) part, which accounts for the influence of previous values; the differencing (I) part, which helps stabilize the mean of the time series by removing changes in the level of a time series; and the moving average (MA) part, which incorporates the dependency between an observation and a residual error from a moving average model applied to lagged observations.…”

The Use of Predictive Microbiology for the Prediction of the Shelf Life of Food Products

“…Machine learning and traditional modelling techniques differ in their approaches to predicting the behaviour of microorganisms and estimating the shelf life of food products [61]. While traditional techniques rely on established mathematical models and computational methods, machine learning utilises algorithms to identify patterns and make predictions based on data [62].…”

Application of machine learning methods for predicting under-five mortality: analysis of Nigerian demographic health survey 2018 dataset

“…Healthcare has advanced quickly in recent years because of the increased accessibility of large datasets and the development of robust computational approaches. Machine learning (ML) approaches have emerged as a promising tool for evaluating big datasets and detecting patterns that would otherwise go undetected [ 4 ]. Researchers and health workers can get meaningful insights into the determinants influencing U5M and develop tailored remedies to reduce it by taking advantage of these strategies.…”
