Explainable artificial intelligence techniques for interpretation of food models: a review
Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become essential for analyzing complex data and solving highly-challenging tasks. It is being applied across numerous disciplines beyond computer science, including Food Engineering, where there is a growing demand for accurate and reliable predictions to meet stringent food quality standards. However, this requires increasingly complex AI models, raising concerns. In response, eXplainable AI (XAI) has emerged to provide insights into AI decision-making, aiding model int…
Explainable AI methods such as SHAP and Grad-CAM improve food quality control by identifying which spectral wavelengths or image regions drive predictions, increasing transparency for inspectors verifying contaminant detection and freshness assessments.
Opaque AI decision-making in food quality models hinders adoption by inspectors and limits reliability, with explainable AI still underutilized in Food Engineering.
XAI remains underutilized in Food Engineering, which limits model reliability and adoption despite available explanation methods.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0260 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
