Description
Summary:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the food industry by optimizing processes, improving food quality and safety, and fostering innovation. This review examines AI's applications in food science, including supply chain management, production, sensory science, and personalized nutrition. It discusses techniques like knowledge-based expert systems, fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, and machine learning, highlighting their roles in predictive maintenance, quality control, product development, and waste management. The integration of AI with sophisticated sensors enhances real-time monitoring and decision-making in food safety and packaging. However, challenges such as ethical concerns, data security, transparency, and high costs persist. AI is poised to advance sustainability by optimizing resource use, enhance food security through predictive analytics of crop yields, and drive innovation in personalized nutrition and supply chain automation, ensuring tailored products and efficient delivery. This paper underscores AI's transformative potential in the food industry while addressing the obstacles to its widespread adoption.
