AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach enables the rapid generation of plant-based food formulas that closely match animal-based foods in taste and texture, reducing development time and resource waste while ensuring environmental sustainability.

Problems solved by technology

Today, many negative consequences of use of animals in the food industry are known, such as deforestation, pollution, human health conditions, and allergies, among others.
However, these alternatives do not match the taste and texture of meat.
Unfortunately, many techniques for development of new foods rely upon time-consuming, inaccurate, manual laboratory work in which different ingredients are combined in different ways and tested.
These approaches are inefficient, involve extensive time to develop a single successful food formula, and waste physical resources.

Abstract

Techniques to mimic a target food item using artificial intelligence are disclosed. A formula generator learns from open source and proprietary databases of ingredients and recipes. The formula generator is trained using features of the ingredients and using recipes. Given a target food item, the formula generator determines a formula that matches the given target food item and a score for the formula. The formula generator may generate, based on user-provided control definitions, numerous formulas that match the given target food item and may select an optimal formula from the generated formulas based on score.

Description

BENEFIT CLAIM[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. non-provisional application Ser. No. 17 / 167,981, filed Feb. 4, 2021, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. non-provisional application Ser. No. 16 / 924,006, filed Jul. 8, 2020, which is now U.S. Pat. No. 10,915,818, issued Feb. 9, 2021, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein. The applicant(s) hereby rescind any disclaimer of claim scope in the parent application(s) or the prosecution history thereof and advise the USPTO that the claims in this application may be broader than any claim in the parent application(s).TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]One technical field of the present disclosure is artificial intelligence and machine learning, as applied to food. Another technical field is food science. The disclosure relates, in particular, to use of machine learning to generate food formulas for foods that mimic target food items.BACKGROUND[0003]The approaches des...
