The role of AI in contaminant detection and spoilage prediction is underlined. One of the applications is using near-infrared spectroscopy on a machine learning algorithm sample to determine if it contains any adulterants in olive oil. Also, trying to develop computer vision techniques that can soon be widely deployed to detect defects in the automated visual inspection of produce. Real-time monitoring sensors incorporated in smart packaging solutions are among the AI that protects and manages the freshness and safety of perishable goods. The review, through analyzing up-to-date AI techniques in the food sector, also proposes potential remedies to the ongoing food issues that can lead to unhealthy and unsafe products.

Increasing dietary fiber intake can prevent and manage the progression of chronic metabolic syndrome. However, the effects and mechanisms of <i>Ganoderma sinense</i> soluble dietary fiber (GSSDF) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remain unclear. This study analyzed the physicochemical properties of GSSDF, investigated the effects of GSSDF on NAFLD models in vitro and in vivo, and elucidated the underlying molecular mechanisms focusing on hepatic metabolism. The results showed that GSSDF had a loose and porous surface structure and a typical polysaccharide functional group structure. At the same time, it demonstrated excellent water absorption, oil absorption, and swelling properties, which would contribute to reduced fat absorption. GSSDF inhibited liver lipid accumulation and enhanced antioxidant capacity in both in vivo and in vitro NAFLD models. Liver metabolomics analysis revealed that NAFLD was alleviated by the intervention of GSSDF in glycerophospholipid metabolism, which involved upregulating the expression of phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (P-AMPK), phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase (P-ACC), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), and downregulating the expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN).
