Application of Clustering Analysis for Investigation of Food Accessibility [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Access to food assistance programs such as food pantries and food banks needs focus in order to mitigate food insecurity. Accessibility to the food assistance programs is impacted by demographics of the population and geography of the location. It hence becomes imperative to define and identify food assistance deserts (Under-served areas) within a ...

Playing with Food: Learning Food Item Representations through Interactive Exploration [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
A key challenge in robotic food manipulation is modeling the material properties of diverse and deformable food items. We propose using a multimodal sensory approach to interact and play with food that facilitates the ability to distinguish these properties across food items.

Breast-milk iodine concentration declines over the first 6 mo postpartum in iodine-deficient women.

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the iodine status of lactating mothers and their infants during the first 6 mo postpartum or, if deficient, the amount of supplemental iodine required to improve status. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine maternal

The Use of Maltodextrin Matrices to Control the Release of Minerals from Fortified Maté

International Journal of Food Studies, 2012
The aim of this research was to study the sensorial acceptance of a fortified food containing different minerals (calcium, magnesium and iron) and to determine the actual quantities present (bioaccessibility) when extracted in maté.

GMM Clustering for In-depth Food Accessibility Pattern Exploration and Prediction Model of Food Demand Behavior [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Understanding the dynamics of food banks' demand from food insecurity is essential in optimizing operational costs and equitable distribution of food, especially when demand is uncertain. Hence, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering is selected to extract patterns.
