Automated food identification systems are significant in many disciplines, comprising dietary valuation, menu analysis, and nutritional tracking. In the past, traditional image analysis algorithms caused in poor classification accuracy, but deep learning methods have enabled the identification of food types and its constituents. This study proposed a novel method to develop food recognition competence and accuracy by connecting a Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimizer to a Modified Time Adaptive Self-Organizing Map (MTA-SOM). Food arrival differences subsequent from lighting, changing perspectives, and occlusions sometimes provide challenges to traditional food recognition algorithms. In this research, propose an MTA-SOM that learns and adapts to changing food item appearances by dynamically changing its topology over time. This research leverages the self-organizing possessions of SOMs and the fine-tuning properties of SGD by relating the MTA-SOM and the SGD optimizer, thereby maximizing the advantages of both techniques. The research method includes collecting a large number of food images from a difference of cuisines and presentation styles in order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed method. This proposed method performs an extensive test and connect MTA-SOM and SGD to present approaches of food recognition. Important advances in precision and robustness are produced as the system learns to recognize food items more precisely and adapts to changes in food appearance. By automating food detection with high precision and adaptability, our method could revolutionize our capability to interact with food-related data and offer important insights into dietary practices and nutritious decisions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stored Products Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140638989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the efficacy of phytosanitary irradiation in protecting <em>H. illucens</em> and <em>T. molitor</em> meals from the three major stored-product pests, <em>Necrobia rufipes</em> (De Geer, 1775), <em>Tribolium castaneum</em> (Hrebst, 1797) and <em>Oryzaephlius surinamensis</em> (Linnaeus, 1758). The obtained data revealed that the longevity periods of <em>N. rufipes</em>, <em>T. castaneum</em> and <em>O. surinamensis</em> were higher (16.8, 30.7 and 19.7 day), respectively when fed on <em>T. molitor</em> compared to BSF diet (7.4, 18.6, and 18.35 days, respectively). Results indicated that <em>O. surinamensis</em> was highly susceptible to irradiation followed by <em>N. rufipes</em> and <em>T. castaneum</em> in response to different doses when reared on both <em>H. illucens</em> and <em>T. molitor</em> meals. The data demonstrated that exposure of the three tested insect pests reared on the both diets to gamma radiation has reduced their population growth and next offspring.

The fatty acid profiles of the larvae revealed seven essential fatty acids including myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. The fatty acid composition of larvae-extracted phospholipids and triglycerides also varied according to the diet type. In terms of phospholipids, the highest concentration of myristic acid was observed in larvae fed walnut. Raisins exhibited the highest levels of palmitoleic and oleic acid, while pistachio demonstrated the highest concentration of linoleic acid. However, no significant differences were observed among the treatments concerning palmitic acid, stearic acid, and linolenic acid. Regarding triglycerides, no significant differences were found among the treatments in terms of myrisitc acid and oleic acid. However, the raisins treatment displayed the highest amount of palmitoleic acid, while both pistachio and walnut treatments exhibited the highest levels of linoleic acid. Additionally, the concentration of linolenic acid in larvae fed walnut was higher than other test diets.

The hypoxia induced by low oxygen levels has a much longer duration of action. We have shown that vacuum packaging at lower and higher pessimum temperature ranges other than the thermal optimum of the insect induced significant mortality of <em>S. granarius</em>. The method was particularly effective when vacuum-packed items were kept at a higher pessimum temperature range.

We assessed changes in the nutritional and hygienic properties of common cereals (oat, maize and barley) in native (whole) and processed (flaked) forms in response to storage conditions. Commercially bagged cereals for horses were subjected to 3 storage conditions: freshly opened (control), open-bag storage and sealed-bag storage for 42 d kept in a feed storage room of a privately owned horse farm. The temperature and relative humidity of the storage room ranged from 17 to 21 °C and 58–74%, respectively. Two samples were taken from the top and bottom positions of each bag (total n = 36) for analyses. Microscopic evaluations showed that oat samples contained 3–5 times higher numbers of impurities than maize and barley. Maize samples were highest in the number of flawed grains, while barley showed the greatest number of pest components. High counts of impurities, flawed grains and pest components were already found in the control samples, and the storage conditions did not promote more damage and contaminants or alter the chemical composition of samples. Sensory evaluation did not detect differences among samples. Processing enlarged the particle size of all grain sorts and promoted physical damage to maize in particular.
