Introduction
• Every year, food borne illnesses cause 600 million cases, 420,000
deaths, 33 million DALYs annually. (WHO, 2015)
• Food quality declines with unidentified substances or toxic
containers.
• Contamination in food can occur at any point along the chain-
during production, processing, distribution, or preparation.

(WHO, 2015) (IFIC Food and Health Survey in 2021)

Introducing Artificial Intelligence

• Intelligence: It involves knowledge acquisition,

application, deductive reasoning, creativity,
and goal achievement.

• “The science and engineering of making

intelligent machines, especially intelligent
computer programs”.

• AI methods are utilized in various industries,

including gaming, weather forecasting etc.

27/03/2024 4
• Also to meet food demand, AI has been used in supply chain
management, food sorting, production development, food
quality enhancement, and adequate industrial hygiene.
• AI employed to increase productivity while decreasing
expenses, improving responsible production and consumption.

27/03/2024 5
Justification
• The seminar topic "AI in food processing industries" is
chosen to explore how artificial intelligence revolutionizes
food production, enhancing efficiency, quality, and safety.

• Exploring AI's transformative impact on modernizing food

processing: enhancing efficiency by automating sorting,
predictive maintenance, quality control, and innovation,
while addressing challenges in automation, safety, and
sustainability simultaneously.

E-nose system

• Electronic nose also known as E-nose is an instrument

created to sense odors or flavors in analogy to the human
nose.
• It consists of an array of electronic chemical sensors where it
is able to recognize both simple and complex odors.
• E-nose has been widely used to aid in both quality control and
assurance in the food industries.

27/03/2024 10
E-tongue system

• Electronic tongue (E-tongue) is an instrument that is able

to determine and analyze taste.
• The ability to sense any taste like a human olfactory
system makes it one of the important devices in the food
industry, especially for quality control and assurance of
food and beverages .
• In addition, E-tongue has been used to identify the aging
of flavor in beverages , identify the umami taste in the
mushrooms , and assess the bitterness of drinks or
dissolved compounds.

 AI used in backward end
• Image processing and detection- detection of spoiled raw
materials
• Demand forecasting
• Inventory management-Maintaining temperature and
gaseous conc., predict restocking needs, prevent overstocking
and waste management
• Quality control- inspect food products for defects or
contamination
• Employee scheduling- assist in scheduling shifts for staff
based on demand patterns

27/03/2024 12
 AI used during processing
• Monitoring and control- AI powered cameras and sensors sort
products, monitor production line detecting defects real time
• Automating safety compliance checks for food processing
facilities
• Predictive maintenance- predict when machinery might fail,
detect defective parts real time thus allowing proactive
maintenance and reducing downtime
• Recipe optimization- for taste or nutritional value as per
demand
• Pathogen detection, ensuring safety and quality
• Energy efficiency- optimize energy use in plants, reducing
costs
• Waste reduction
27/03/2024 13
 Use of AI in front end
• Supply chain transparency- Tracing source of any issues,
efficient route planning to reduce wastage and improve
efficiency
• Inventory management
• Market research- analyze trends and consumer preferences
over flavour to guide product development and innovation
• Data analysis- analyze consumer feedback and sensory
data to refine food product characteristics
• AI chatbots and voice assistants- handle customer
inquiries, process orders, provide personalized
recommendations, also employee can operate AI powered
machines using voice assistants improving efficiency

 Future of AI
• AI in the food industry should ideally complement human
expertise rather than replace it. Finding the right balance
between automation and human control is crucial for
maintaining quality and safety standards.

• Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of AI in

the food industry, such as improved efficiency, quality
control, and better consumer experiences, make it worth
addressing those listed challenges and finding innovative
solutions to overcome them. Looking at these points,
future do seem on the positive side.
