Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are extremely pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Application of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Food Science: Current Practice and Future Directions." This issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research exploring various facets of applying machine learning, deep learning, and big data analytics to food science. We welcome research that delves into various AI and data science methods for analyzing food quality, safety, and authentication, as well as the application of AI to enhance the nutritional value of foods. 

Topics of interest include the following:

  1. Machine learning models for predictive food quality control.
  2. Deep learning approaches for food image analysis and classification.
  3. Big data analytics in food supply chain management.
  4. AI-driven sensory analysis for taste and quality assessment.
  5. IoT applications in monitoring food safety and traceability.
  6. AI application in enhancing the bioavailability of bioactive compounds in foods.
