Importance of computational tools and artificial intelligence to improve drying processes for food preservation

Computational tools, including mathematical algorithms, specialized software, and artificial neural networks, along with the advancements in intelligence, have brought significant to industrial processes. Specifically, food drying processes, such as those employed for grains, fruits, vegetables, these tools been demonstrated play a crucial role preserving itself its nutritional value. This work highlights how intelligence computational facilitated automation of processes (Engineering 4.0). Furthermore, it sheds light on future potential man-machine interface, which is expected give rise Industry 5.0. The application has impact optimizing this unit operation by reducing process times, improving operating conditions, predicting final quality characteristics products remarkable accuracy, without requiring extensive experimentation or pilot tests.
