The taste of the food you eat in the future may change. According to a research, the taste of food can change due to artificial intelligence. Veg items can also taste non-veg. Research related to this has been published in the science journal Nature Food. It explains how AI can change the taste of food.
According to research, AI cannot make chicken or mutton itself, but it helps in finding out in what proportion to mix protein, oil and other elements derived from peas, soya, pulses or other plants so that their taste, aroma and texture feel like real non-veg. Currently, companies have to do repeated experiments to create such products, but AI can analyze millions of possible formulas on the computer and suggest the best option.
No need of water, land, pollution will also reduce
Scientists say that its biggest benefit will be plant-based proteins, proteins made from fermentation and meat prepared in the lab. These options require less water and land and also reduce pollution. But their taste is not good. If AI makes them taste better, more people may be willing to adopt them. The biggest focus of research is on sustainable proteins. This includes options like proteins made from plants, proteins prepared with the help of bacteria or yeast, and meat grown from cells in the lab.
AI will tell you how nutritious the food will be and how long it will remain fresh.
AI can tell not only the taste, but also how nutritious a food item will be, how long it will remain fresh and what its texture will be. Not only this, AI can also prepare new recipes. Scientists have suggested that in the future, such automatic labs should be created where robots themselves conduct experiments and AI analyzes their results and decides the next experiment. With this, new food products can be developed faster than before.
Personalized food can be prepared according to the disease
- Not only companies but also common people can benefit from this technology.
- Affordable proteins with better taste, personalized food tailored to allergies or diseases and a food system that causes less harm to the environment can be developed.
- However, scientists have also admitted that AI is not completely ready yet. It will require large amounts of reliable data, and things like taste also depend on human experience.
- Apart from this, there are also ethical questions regarding the use of lab-grown meat and AI.
