3. Research Corner: Application of Artificial Intelligence in Food Industry—a Guideline

Mavani NR, Ali JM, Othman S, Hussain MA, Hashim H, Rahman NA. Application of Artificial Intelligence in Food Industry—a Guideline. Food Eng Rev. 2022;14(1):134–75. doi: 10.1007/s12393-021-09290-z. Epub 2021 Aug 9. PMCID: PMC8350558.

While generative AI is new to the kitchen, AI has been used in the food industry for years. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the food industry has become increasingly prevalent in order to meet the growing demands for food production. AI systems have been implemented in various tasks such as determining food quality, controlling tools, classifying food, and making predictions. These intelligent systems offer several advantages, including improved accuracy, cost reduction, and enhanced overall performance.

There are several AI techniques that have been applied in the food industry. Fuzzy logic (FL) has been used in tasks like bread making, roasting machine control, and ranking the quality attributes of cupcakes. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been utilized to predict drying behavior, temperature variations in mushroom growing halls, and sensory quality of garlic. Machine learning (ML) techniques have been employed for predicting food insecurity, sales trends, and food waste generation. Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) techniques have been used to predict the drying behavior of onions and the stability of honey crystallization.

Furthermore, the integration of AI systems with external sensors has proven to be advantageous in real-time detection in the food industry. For instance, electronic nose and electronic tongue systems have been used for odor and taste detection, while computer vision systems have been employed for image processing and pattern recognition. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been utilized for non-destructive analysis of food properties. By integrating AI with these sensor systems, the food industry can significantly improve efficiency, accuracy, and overall performance in food quality control and assurance.

The use of AI in the food industry offers numerous benefits, including improved quality control, prediction accuracy, and cost reduction. The integration of AI with external sensors further enhances its capabilities and enables the industry to optimize efficiency and quality. By selecting the appropriate AI method and integrating it with sensor systems, the food industry can enhance its overall performance and meet the demands of a growing population.

4. ELI5 AI Term of the week: “What’s a Token in Large Language Models?”

let's imagine a large language model is like a very smart robot who loves to read books. This robot doesn't read the same way humans do - instead of reading word by word or sentence by sentence, it reads "tokens".

You can think of a token as a piece of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "The big blue dog", each word can be a token - so there would be four tokens: "The", "big", "blue", "dog". Sometimes, if the robot encounters a really big word it hasn't seen before, it might break it into smaller pieces, and each piece becomes a token.

So, the robot reads a whole bunch of these tokens (from books, articles, web pages) and learns to understand how these tokens usually go together. This way, it can generate new sentences when we ask it to, by deciding the most likely tokens to come next!

It's a bit like when you play with building blocks. Each block (token) is a piece of the final structure (sentence), and after playing and practicing a lot, you can predict which blocks (tokens) fit well together to make the structure (sentence) you want.

5. Our Featured Recipe, the human and AI Version of Samba Salmon with Pineapple Pilaf

The original dish Wes created served as the inspiration for AI’s take

Alright the moment you’ve been waiting for….who does it better, the human, or the AI. Who shall prevail? First, here’s AI’s take with notes from Master Chef Wes:

Sizzling Samba Salmon with Fiery Pineapple Pilaf—Dinner for 2

Sizzling Samba Salmon with Fiery Pineapple Pilaf is a dinner dish fusing Hawaiian and Thai flavors. It features a crispy-skinned salmon filet, perfectly paired with a spicy pineapple fried rice. The combination of sweet, tangy pineapple and the heat from the spices makes this dish an exotic culinary delight.

You Need This Stuff

2 Salmon filets, skin on
1 cup Pineapple, diced
1 cup Jasmine rice (Human version calls for day-old rice, better for fried rice)
2 tbsp Olive oil (Should be sesame oil, but not a big deal)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
2 cloves Garlic, minced (Morrrrr garlic needed AI pleazzzz)
1 small Onion, diced
1 Red bell pepper, diced
1 Green bell pepper, diced (would sub this for a yellow bell pepper)
2 Thai chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
2 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Fish sauce (optional) (Not optional, and add more)
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder (In original this was curry powder)
1/4 cup Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped for garnish
Juice of 1 Lime for seasoning the salmon and adding a tangy flavor to the pilaf

So only missing ingredients were eggs for the fried rice, and 1/2 a cup of coconut milk for sweetness and richness, but so far, AI get an A- for ingredient selection…bravo. Onto the instructions.

Rinse the salmon filets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels
(key step missing here, place the salmon skin side up in the fridge for at least an hour before…we want that crispy skin. Also I do multiple cuts in the salmon skin so there’s more places for the sale to penetrate, and to speed up cooking time.)
Place the salmon on the cutting board, skin side down (nope nope), and season with salt, black pepper, and half of the lime juice (the lime juice was the killer here. Adding acid to fish actually starts the cooking process, and will cause salmon to overcook more quickly, as well as leach out the albumin inside as the fish cooks, which makes the flavor escape and forms the gooey white stuff on your cooked salmon. Minus points for AI)
Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes (nope nope)
While the salmon is marinating, prepare your vegetables: using the chef’s knife and cutting board, dice the pineapple, onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and finely chop the Thai chilies Mince the garlic cloves using a garlic press
In a small bowl mix together soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), and remaining lime juice to create a tangy sauce for later use
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil (sesame oil) in a large skillet over medium heat Once hot, add salmon filets skin side down Cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy then flip with fish spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through. (for crispy skin, 80% of the cooking time should be skin side down) Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate covered with foil to keep warm (should be served immediately, so do the rice first and salmon last)
In the same skillet add remaining olive oil Add diced onion and minced garlic to skillet; sauté until onion becomes translucent (about 2-3 minutes)
Add diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper to skillet; sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until peppers are softened
Stir in chopped Thai chilies (adjust amount based on preferred spice level) followed by diced pineapple; sauté for another minute until pineapple is slightly caramelized
Transfer this mixture from skillet into a bowl temporarily
In a medium saucepan bring 2 cups of water to boil Add jasmine rice along with turmeric powder; stir well (the cooking of the rice was the main difference between the original and AI’s take. But the recipie was trying for a pilaf, and not fried rice, so we’ll call this one a draw)
Reduce heat to low cover saucepan with lid let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked
Once rice is cooked fluff it gently with fork then add sautéed vegetable-pineapple mixture back into saucepan along with prepared soy-fish-lime sauce; mix well ensuring all ingredients are combined evenly
Plate your fiery pineapple pilaf onto two plates top each serving with a cooked salmon filet garnish each plate with fresh cilantro leaves before serving

So minus points for the salmon marinade, which canceled any real chance of super crispy bacon-of-the-sea salmon skin. AI was making a pilaf, not fried rice, so no minus points. C+ for technical steps for AI.

And the final results…first, the AI-generated image:

And then Wes’s recreation of the AI recipe, complete with lighting for dramatic effect:

And the final verdict on taste…B- overall. The lime juice marinate didn’t do the salmon any favors, and it was overcooked with the instructed cooking time. The rice pilaf was pleasant, but missing some cohesion, which could have likely been achieved with the addition of eggs to the pilaf, as well as swapping the turmeric for curry powder. Yet this is certainly a flavorful dish every which way.
