Description
The project aims to optimize the production of meat analogues with improved texture and nutritional profile using wet extrusion and machine learning techniques. Predictive models and a data repository will be developed, and optimal formulations will be validated in the laboratory.
Contextual description
The growing concern for sustainable food has driven the food industry to develop protein-rich products that can replace meat, including high-moisture extruded foods. The range of possible combinations of different available ingredients and applicable technological processes is vast, and individual cases often require several laboratory tests to achieve a satisfactory result. Machine learning is emerging as a predictive tool capable of contributing to the selection of optimal production conditions.
Results
Creation of a database on nutritional composition and texture characteristics, based on scientific articles. Standardization of the target characteristics for the model.
