What is Lecithin?

What is Lecithin?
Lecithin is a food additive that is coded as E322 in the EU. It is found in egg yolk, nuts, meats, and it is extracted from vegetable oils such as soy and sunflower oil [1]. Emulsions are a mixture of water and oil which cannot be mixed liquids, but emulsifier helps keep them together and does not allow them to separate. Therefore, in the food industry, it is generally used soy lecithin and sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier. However, the sunflower lecithin is preferred more because there are concerns about GMOs in soy and soy is an allergenic product.
Lecithins are mixtures of glycerophospholipids including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidic acid [2]. However, the composition of lecithins and their phospholipids depends on their source. Vegetable lecithins are high in phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidic acid, but very low in phosphatidylserine an…

Harms of Our Food Systems to The World
Lots of organisms live harmoniously in the world. To continue their life, they have essential needs. For example, a plant needs air, light, water, nutrients. Some unicellular organisms need a body to meet their needs like food and shelter. Humans need water, air, food, and shelter to survive. All the organisms mentioned above have similar needs as can be seen, but they are distinguished by how they meet these needs.

Artificial Intelligence in Food Production

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN FOOD PRODUCTIONThe growing population and improving technology have involved artificial intelligence in our lives rapidly. AI has the ability of endless improvement and firms benefit from increased productivity, reduced costs and lower environmental impact. AI technology can be implemented in most of the food and beverage industry areas in which repetitive tasks are common operations. Food processing involves categorizing the food and raw materials from the farm, implementing the machinery and various equipment, and maybe more steps. AI and robots are favorable in food production applications like picking, placing, packaging and palletizing. The system uses cameras, NIR spectroscopy, x-rays and lasers to analyze and sort foods on the go quickly.

Here are the five AI benefits to food production;1- Improved SortingAI is capable of distinguishing foods for their most effective use. For example, potatoes are grouped as best for french fries and potato chips, and …
