Artificial Neural Networks for Predicting Food Antiradical Potential
Applied Sciences, 2022 Using an artificial neural network (ANN), the values of the antiradical potential of 1315 items of food and agricultural raw materials were calculated. We used an ANN with the structure of a “multilayer perceptron” (MLP) and with the hyberbolic tangent ...
