Elman artificial neural network single and multilayer computerized models were developed for predicting the shelf life of burfi stored at 30ºC. The experimental data of the product relating to moisture, titratable acidity, free fatty acids, tyrosine, and peroxide value were taken as input variables, and overall acceptability score as output variable for developing the models. Bayesian regularization algorithm was applied as training algorithm for neural network. Transfer function for hidden layers was tangent sigmoid; while for output layer it was pure linear function. Elman model with a combination of 5→10→1 and 5→7→7→1 performed exceedingly well for predicting the shelf life of burfi.

Soft computing cascade multilayer models were developed for predicting the shelf life of burfi stored at 30oC. The experimental data of the product relating to moisture, titratable acidity, free fatty acids, tyrosine, and peroxide value were input variables, and the overall acceptability score was the output variable. The modelling results showed excellent agreement between the experimental data and predicted values, with a high determination coefficient (R2 = 0.993499439) and low RMSE (0.006500561), indicating that the developed model was able to analyze nonlinear multivariate data with very good performance, and can be used for predicting the shelf life of burfi.

This paper highlights the significance of Time-Delay ANN models for predicting shelf life of processed cheese stored at 7-8oC. Bayesian regularization algorithm was selected as training function. Number of neurons in single and multiple hidden layers varied from 1 to 20. The network was trained with up to 100 epochs. Mean square error, root mean square error, coefficient of determination and nash - Sutcliffe coefficient were used for calculating the prediction capability of the developed models. Time-Delay ANN models with multilayer are quite efficient in predicting the shelf life of processed cheese stored at 7-8^oC.

This paper presents the latency and potential of central nervous system based system intelligent computer engineering system for detecting shelf life of soft mouth melting milk cakes stored at 10o C. Soft mouth melting milk cakes are exquisite sweetmeat cuisine made out of heat and acid thickened solidified sweetened milk. In today’s highly competitive market consumers look for good quality food products. Shelf life is a good and accurate indicator to the food quality and safety. To achieve good quality of food products, detection of shelf life is important. Central nervous system based intelligent computing model was developed which detected 19.82 days shelf life, as against 21 days experimental shelf life.
