HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • New 3D-printed chip sensor detects foodborne pathogens

    The 3D-printed chip is divided into four sections that are each designed to detect a specific pathogen.

  • Siemens and Agbotic collaborate on artificial intelligence initiative

    The collaboration seeks to validate a new artificial intelligence model intended to improve farming efficiency.

  • Ensuring food hose assembly safety through 3-A Sanitary Standards

    The 3-A Sanitary Standards Organization is growing in attention as a requirement by a wide variety of food and beverage producers.

  • AI-enabled drones to fight off pests on the farm

    The team sought an approach that consumed less time and energy by developing an automated flight protocol wherein drones could capture high-resolution images of pear orchards from a height of 26 ft above.

  • Move over, Sam Malone: These robots can sling drinks and maybe lend an ear

    The hospitality industry is not immune to the so-called “rise of the robot." As a result, human bartenders might soon be competing with robots for serving brews, cocktails and wine.

  • Pizza-making bot developed by Boeing engineer

    The aptly named Pzza system, built by Boeing engineer Omid Nakhjavani, can autonomously prepare dough, create a pizza base and apply sauce and toppings.

  • Beer yeast repurposed for filtering out lead in water

    The researchers suggest that the tons of discarded yeast from beer breweries could potentially filter out lead from contaminated water quickly.

  • Eggshells eyed for recovering rare earth elements

    The approach promises to offer an environmentally friendly method for extracting the REEs necessary for developing the permanent magnets used in electric cars and wind turbines.

  • A second life for spent coffee grounds

    Spent coffee grounds possess several highly desirable chemical components that are potentially useful for some other applications with little or nothing to do with consuming.

  • An ultrasonic cold brew coffee machine developed by Australian engineers

    The researchers concluded that their trained sensory panel tastings proved that the machine achieved a taste profile very similar to either a traditional cold brew or an espresso in the same amount of time it takes to brew a hot espresso.

  • Edible analytics: All about the pH of fruits and vegetables

    Monitoring and maintaining the pH of these foods is vital to ensure their freshness, nutritional content and overall quality.

  • How to uncork the pH of wine

    Red or white, consider the significance of pH in a glass of wine and learn about measurement challenges and guidelines.

  • Finland-based roastery debuts "world's first AI coffee"

    To accomplish this, the researchers fed descriptions of all of Kafffa’s coffee types and flavors to the AI model, instructing it to develop a new blend.

  • Using AI to distinguish good potatoes from the bad

    To ensure the quality of sweet potatoes, humans in the lab subject them to rounds of time-consuming assessments to sort out undesirable batches according to characteristics including firmness, sweetness and appearance, among other qualities.

  • Automating agriculture

    Follow along with GlobalSpec for a rundown of some of those automation solutions happening down on the farm.

  • Measuring the pH of milk

    Consider the importance of and tips for accurately measuring the pH of milk samples.

  • Autopickr introduces its asparagus-picking bot

    Dubbed “Gus,” the roughly 45 kg, four-wheeled, battery powered robotic precision agriculture and harvesting platform can reportedly autonomously pick 100% of all the harvestable asparagus during an eight-to-10-hour shift.

  • New coating for produce storage containers repels bacteria, fungi, dirt

    To create the coating — which can potentially be applied to grain storage silos, as well as other food storage units and containers to increase post-harvest food safety — researchers employed a two-step process.

  • Wax coating to protect produce from bacteria, fungi

    To protect various fruits and vegetables during different stages of produce handling and post-harvest treatments, researchers combined a food grade wax with nano-encapsulated cinnamon-bark essential oil in protein carriers to imbue the produce with antibacterial properties.

  • Team eyes edible blue-green algae for protecting honey bees against viruses

    To help reduce the spread of viruses among honey bee colonies, the team discovered that engineered algae diets suppressed DWV infection.
