ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .25-June 2024 Deep Learning in Agri-Food Systems PROTEIN FUNCTIONALIZATION PROTEIN FUNCTIONALIZATION Introduction Artificial Neural Network from (DL) itself largely benefited image, and videos is a subset of Machine Deep Learning Learning, which is a subset of Artificial Intelligence. Deep Learning employs a variety of neural network (NN) architectures and algorithms for pattern recognition and data analysis. This soft computing technique is bringing revolutions in the field of data science, as it can be used to analyze huge volumes of data in all possible forms viz. text, audio, 2D/3D into meaningful insights. In recent times, the agri-food the industry has also development in this field. In food processing units, deep Learning is being implemented in machine vision systems for inline processes, quality of raw materials, and finished goods. At the farm level, deep learning technology has been successfully applied in autonomous robotic systems tasked with picking agro-commodities with desired characteristics. Deep learning is also being used to monitor vegetation using low- altitude aerial systems coupled with a wide variety of sensors for data collection. This technique is favorable over other AI tools as it is versatile with the type of input data and its performance is directly proportional to the amount of data fed. from agro, and The nature of data sourced biological systems is complex as it can vary from continuous spectral information to spatial RGB images or a combination of both. inspecting The artificial neural network (ANN) architecture is the simplest model for DL. It is a computational system composed of the systematic interconnection of many simple processing neurons operating in parallel whose function is determined by network structure, connection strengths, and the processing performed at the neurons [1]. They are designed to mimic the human brain’s nervous system, to compute sophisticated computations for a specific task. The ANN architecture comprises several layers – an input layer where the data are provided, hidden layers where classification tasks are done, and the output layer predict the output. For an ANN to predict future data, it must be trained first, further which it becomes able to predict similar patterns. The basic information processing unit of an ANN is the neuron. Convolutional Neural Network CNN is a specialized type of NN designed to be applied in computer vision tasks like image classification and object layers are the fundamental detection. Convolutional building blocks of CNNs. This layer performs an operation called a ‘convolution’. A convolution is a linear operation that involves the multiplication of a set of weights with the input. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION READ MORE.... Vol .03-Issue .25-June 2024 Application in the Agri-Food Systems Deep Learning in Cleaning processing equipment Cleaning processing equipment requires a lot of time and resources, including water. To address this problem, research engineers at the University of Nottingham have developed a system that uses DL to reduce cleaning time and resources by 20 – 40%. The system, which they call Self-Optimizing CIP, uses ultrasonic sensing and optical fluorescence imaging to measure food residue and microbial debris in a piece of equipment and then optimize the cleaning process [9]. Challenges in implementation general literature, to develop specialized models As opposed to the popular belief from science fiction artificial achieving intelligence is still a long journey. Till then, it is important for completing specialized tasks. Even though a fully functional model does not require any special assistance while in operation, the initial setup cost is significantly high. In terms of the complexity of the overall deep learning-enabled system in the industry, model selection is the most important step in this process. dietary assessment, implemented researchers have Several these algorithms to solve crucial problems in the food industry such as defects classification, shelf-life prediction, food grading/sorting, inspection, etc. The process of development and the forms of models that would yield from DL in the agri-food implementation system is not significantly different from those for other systems. However, information and knowledge fed to the system as input data will help to characterize the individual systems and their features. Raw materials like fruits and vegetables often have a non-visible defect in their surface, but improper storage conditions, may get due to affected and pathological disorders. For instance, plantains with preexisting internal damage conditions when stored at optimum conditions (2% O2 and 5 – 10% CO2 at 10°C, 90% RH) will bypass a trained and experienced eye. This, however, won’t be an issue if there were a machine vision system in place. infestation internal pest the by Deep Learning in Quality Control Quality control is a costly process, but a critical step in the food industry. Traditional techniques are time-consuming and hence machine vision systems are being installed for better performance. In recent times, several industries, as well as academic units, the performance of models have suitable for specialized tasks. Similarly, Vasumathi et al.

Over 40% of all purchases in the school supplies market, which is estimated to be worth over Rs 60,000 crore, are related to education. also It Due to worldwide factors that cause price swings among different oils, the edible oil market has recently seen major price hikes. Over the last three months, the price of 10-kg quantities of cottonseed oil has increased from Rs 930 to Rs 975, soybean oil from Rs 910 to Rs 970, rice bran oil from Rs 890 to Rs 950, sunflower oil from Rs 900 to Rs 980, and mustard oil from Rs 1060 to Rs 1190. The limited supply of sunflower oil from Russia and Ukraine as a result of off-season conditions and weather effects is a significant reason for these rises. Because Ukraine is a major producer, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also affected the world's supply of sunflower oil. Furthermore, disruptions in the supply of soybean oil due to floods in Brazil and worker strikes in Argentina have decreased exports and crushing. Geopolitical conflicts, such as the conflict between Israel and Palestine, have further disrupted supply chains, leading to problems with availability and price increases. World Food Safety Day Promotes Safe Global Health Practices From farm to fork, food safety is a crucial public health issue that involves handling, preparing, and storing food correctly to avoid foodborne infections. Particularly vulnerable populations include young people, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. Strict food safety procedures must be put in place at every stage of the supply chain, from manufacture to consumption. With India's fast urbanisation and rising packaged food consumption, it is critical to guarantee the safety of food packaging. The Food Safety and Regulations Authority of food-grade regulations for packaging materials, particularly for components like packaging inks.
