SIGNIFICANCE

The significance of this proposed research is to address a long-standing unmet need in precision nutrition and additive manufacturing of foods. Specifically, this research will develop AI-enabled predictive models for 3D printed foods and a gut digestion process.

GOALS

The specific goals of this proposal are to develop AI-enabled models for additive manufacturing of food for precision nutrition and AI-enabled digital twin of a gut digestion process to predict and optimize the bioaccessibility of micronutrients during digestion based on diverse composition and structure of foods.
