A considerable portion of global food waste comprises dry foods that are rejected due to their unattractive appearance. One effective technique to solve this problem is by developing dryers that consistently produce dry foods that are visually appealing and have a long shelf life. The beating heart of such dryers is a computer vision (CV) system that monitors the visual attributes of the food, in real time, during the drying process. Unfortunately, there are currently no real-time CV systems for monitoring the visual attributes of food during fluidized bed drying. This setback is linked to figure-ground separation challenges encountered while segmenting real-time images of the food. Sadly, when current CV systems are used to monitor visual attributes of food during fluidized bed drying, these CV systems fail miserably because they are not designed to account for three major dryer-dependent determinants—the layout, the state and pattern of motion, and the behavior of food materials within the image captured during fluidized bed drying. To solve this lingering problem, this paper reviewed various computer vision systems based on the three determinants. This study revealed that input images for the different CV systems can be categorized as being either static-type images or chaotic-type images. The CV systems were grouped into “Static-input offline CV systems,” “Static-input online CV systems,” and “Chaotic-input online CV systems.” Building on the insight gained while reviewing the three classes of CV systems, two novel AI-driven solutions for monitoring visual attributes of food, in real time, during fluidized bed drying were proposed. The first solution was a “two-pass” deep learning system that predicts visual attributes from segmented results. While the second solution was a “single-pass” deep learning system that by-passes the segmentation step, thus saving computational cost. When such AI-driven solutions are merged with a control system and then integrated with fluidized bed dryers, this union could open the gateway to intelligent drying, where dryers consistently produce high-quality dry foods. By extension, consistency in product quality could reduce global food losses and waste significantly.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":565,"journal":{"name":"Food Engineering Reviews","volume":"15 2","pages":"242 - 260"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4819901","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 article provides a review on the separation principles behind both the commercial and emerging techniques used for whey protein fractionation, as well as the efficacy and limitations of these techniques in isolating and purifying individual whey proteins. The fractionation of whey proteins has mainly been achieved at commercial scale using membrane filtration, resin-based chromatography, and the integration of multiple technologies (e.g., precipitation, membrane filtration, and chromatography). Electromembrane separation and membrane chromatography are two main emerging techniques that have been developed substantially in recent years. Other new techniques such as aqueous two-phase separation and magnetic fishing are also discussed, but only a limited number of studies have reported their application in whey protein fractionation.

Dried grain moisture content is a critical factor for developing grain drying systems and selecting optimal performance by researchers and the grain processing industry. Many grain drying technologies such as fluidised bed dryers, fixed bed dryers, infrared dryers, microwave dryers, vacuum dryers and freeze dryers have been used in recent years. To improve the drying process of grain, researchers have combined some drying technologies such as microwave + hot air, infrared + hot air and microwave + a fluidised bed dryer. Also, they introduce some treatments such as ultrasound dielectric and dehumidification. These methods enhance the dryer performance, such as higher moisture removal, reduced processing time, higher energy efficiency and nutrient retention.

In the extraction of bioactive compounds from food, the optimization procedure becomes more straightforward as the optimum conditions of the numerous evaluated responses converge to a similar section. However, the problem becomes more complicated when the optimum values for each response go further apart, making it harder to discover settings that satisfy all of them simultaneously. Using a mathematical function, multiple responses can be integrated into a single one in another manner. The generated response surface enables the calculation of optimum values for extraction parameter, which fulfills all responses whenever possible. Hence, this article reviewed multiple responses, desirability function, and graphical optimization solutions employed to extract food bioactive compounds in the last decade.

This paper comprehensively reviewed the application of cold plasma in low-moisture foods, including inactivation of microorganisms, degradation of mycotoxins, influences on the quality of low-moisture foods, and promotion of seed germination. Cold plasma can inactivate the pathogenic microorganisms on the surface of low-moisture foods, by generating active species, ultraviolet radiation, and electric fields, which helps to extend the shelf life of foods while having minimal impact on food quality. Cold plasma technology is also an effective approach to detoxify mycotoxin-contaminated low-moisture foods by degrading various mycotoxins. With the manipulation of parameters for cold plasma generation, target functional properties of food products may be obtained.
