Efficiency of tray dryer moisture removal: Experimental and AI studies by A. Al-Haddad, T. Kikhavani, Seyyed Hosseini

“…Among 240 experimental data points, the multilayer perceptron using radial basis functions (MLP) showed the best outcomes, obtaining a MAPE of 0.000013 % during training and 2.62 % during testing, an RMSE of 0.0134 for training and 0.479 for testing, along with R² values of 1.0 (training) and 90.7 % (testing). Sensitivity analysis revealed that MRE positively correlates with drying time, heater power, and air fan speed, whereas feed salinity exhibited a negative effect. …”

Multi-Element Fingerprinting Combined with Chemometrics for Identification of Seaweeds and Innovative Risk–Benefit Assessment by Yuansheng Guo, Tiantian Zuo, Shuo Gong, Anzhen Chen, Hongyu Jin, Jing Liu, Qi Wang, Jingjing Liu, Shuai Kang, Ping Li, Feng Wei, Shuangcheng Ma

“…Chemometrics showed that seaweed samples could be well separated by the established multi-element fingerprints, of which Ag, Mn, Sr, and K were the most important variables for discrimination. Furthermore, the present study proposed an innovative risk–benefit assessment strategy for seaweeds that considers both risks and benefits, developing a novel risk–benefit assessment model from both dietary and medicinal perspectives for the first time. …”
