To reduce such hazards, this research created an innovative crack detection system based on an autoencoder (AE) that uses acoustic signals from eggshells. A system that creates an acoustic effect by hitting the eggshell without damaging it was designed, and these effects were recorded through a microphone. Acoustic signal data of size 1 × 1000 was fed into k nearest neighbor (kNN), decision tree (DT), and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. AE was employed to reduce data size in order to accommodate the raw data's unique features. This AE model, which reduces data size, was used with many classifiers and was able to accurately distinguish between intact and cracked eggs.

Consequently, the movement state of corn ear in a peeling device and the friction behavior involved were analyzed, and the mechanical model was established. Friction tests were conducted by using the modified tilting table, the modified direct shear apparatus, and the self-built rolling friction apparatus. The value range and change rule of the COFs between corn ears and peeling rollers were obtained. Linear regression models were described for the COFs depending on moisture content. The results show that the coefficient of static friction (COSF) was 0.391–1.396, the coefficient of sliding friction (CODF) was 0.398–1.318, and the coefficient of rolling friction (CORF) was 0.119–0.377. All COFs were positively correlated with moisture content. Besides, the COFs of two rubber rollers were significantly larger than that of the steel roller. Among the two rubber rollers, the COFs were higher between the fish scale rubber roller and bare corn ears and were lower between the fish scale rubber roller and corn ears with bracts. This meant that the fish scale rubber roller was more likely to cause seed damage under the same conditions.

The old and well-known method used today for extending shelf life is the drying process. The drying process is preferred over other preservation methods for reasons such as being more economical, easier to transport, having a longer shelf life, more concentrated nutritional value, and containing fewer additives. This ensures that dried foods are of higher quality in terms of physical, chemical, microbial properties, and nutritional values compared to other packaged foods.
