Edible data packets- download food (like a file) and consume them like a capsule that just dissolves in the mouth.

Food delivery service- focus on creating something like edible packaging- reducing waste and helping the environment

Memory cuisine- you can buy food from the past or from someone's memory- again sort of like a capsule or pill. It retains the memories and emotions of their experience with that dish

Possibly could make something to tackle food waste- a big issue thats arising at the moment-

could make food more biodegradable

edible packaging

creating ecosystems inside out homes so that leftover food is digested and put back into the environment

What if recipes became code, and everyone tasted the same flavor?

If we enter the food code, we can taste the same flavor at home.

What if food could maintain its taste and texture while you eat?

Food often changes while we eat—it can get cold or soggy, and the texture or flavor may be lost.

2. Adjust colors, portions, and nutrients live while one eats, keeping one's energy and emotions balanced throughout the day

Recipe Generator

1. With the available food and ingredients one has, the generator generates a recipe according to one's needs and presents each little step of the entire process of cooking visually

Learning through transportation- when learning different things we actual immerse ourselves within the topic by transporting through times

Subscription based service where you rent information only for the time you need. For example a DR may "rent" a medical procedure as a subscription which would then fade out as a memory once the time is over

Possible problems to look at that we could solves?

Everyone having access to education

Cost of Education

Teacher shortages

Mental health and pressure

Digital Recipes & Personalized Food (adventage)
3D food printing turns recipes into digital codes that control texture and nutrition.
It enables personalized food systems where people can recreate the same or familiar flavors anywhere — even through pills.

Challenges & Ethics (disadventage)
While efficient, this technology risks losing food’s emotional and cultural meaning.
When flavor becomes data, we may gain convenience but lose authenticity and memory.

All food is accessible to everyone and no-one goes hungry

https://www.plenty.ag/about/

- PLENTY- is a brand that looks at indoor farming (vertical and urban farming) so that food can be grown locally using indoor space.

- With this, it gives us hope that we can grow produce in areas with poorer climates and less resources so healthy and nutritious food is acceptable for all

THE CULTURE SERIES- IAIN BANKS

- A science fiction novel where no-one lacks food comfort or shelter.

- Replicator devices- act as a 3D printer for food that replicates taste, texture and nutrition

HEAVY FOCUS ON- AI automation, renewable energy, and synthetic food

Task 1: current weak signals

Genetic testing

e.g. helps reduce and manage obesity

Wearable health technology

e.g. Apple Watch

Health-tracking apps

AI-driven meal apps/websites

e.g. https://ollie.ai/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Task 2

"Dr Virani believes nutrigenomic testing will become more meaningful when combined with other data about your individual digestive and metabolic processes: biological markers (such as blood sugar and fat), metabolites (the molecules involved in your metabolism) and gut microbiome (the gut bacteria)." (Quinn)

AI supporting personalised nutrition planning

Restaurants need to follow everyone's personal nutrition plans to make personalised meals

Food supplies are categorized to meet different people's nutritional needs

Could a DNA diet test transform your health?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The number of home DNA test kits offering nutrition and diet advice matched to your genes is growing. They’re based on the idea that each of us responds to foods differently, in part due to our unique genetic make-up, so we have individual nutritional needs. Could tailoring your diet to your genes help you optimise your health?

Scientists created 'e-Taste'

Virtual taste can be real

What Needs to Happen

Standardized food codes

Sensory data networks

If your colleague bores you to tears with pictures of their lunch, then a new gadget could make your life even worse.

Scientists have developed a device to recreate the flavours of food and drink, allowing them to be shared remotely in a matter of seconds - but they have not yet cracked spicy food.

They say the gadget, which they have called "e-Taste", could be used to enhance virtual reality and augmented reality systems, boosting immersive experiences. It could also prove useful for biomedical research or even, the team suggests, for "virtual food adventures".

"Potential applications include immersive gaming, online shopping, remote education, weight management, sensory testing, physical rehabilitation and others," the researchers write.

However, the team notes the system requires further development, not least as there are taste sensations the device cannot reproduce, such as spiciness and fattiness.

While it is now possible share images, sounds and even physical sensations with others remotely, sharing smells or tastes has proved more challenging.

Despite previous attempts by some researchers, the team behind the new study notes that there are numerous hurdles, not least that directly stimulating the tongue electronically or with warmth only enables a few tastes to be evoked; the use of chemicals can pose problems for reliability; and the arrangement of tastebuds on the tongue means it is necessary to target particular areas to create particular sensations.

Writing in the journal Science Advances, the US-based scientists report how their e-Taste device has two key components. The first is a sensing platform - or "electronic tongue" - that captures data about the concentration of five different taste chemicals in a liquidised sample ofa food or drink and sends the information wirelessly to the second component. This device uses small electromagnetic pumps to push liquids through a layer of gel containing five edible taste chemicals, allowing their delivery to an outlet, placed in a recipient's mouth, to be controlled.

The five taste chemicals, which can be mixed before delivery, correspond to those detected in the original consumable item: glucose, which creates a sweet sensation; citric acid, which produces a sour taste; sodium chloride, which generates a salty flavour; magnesium chloride, a bitter taste; and glutamate, which elicits the savoury taste known as umami.

The team adds that the system also allows flavours to be delivered to specific regions of the tongue - something they say could be used to investigate human taste perception.

"People will get something like a straw in their mouth, and thus placing it to specific locations when needed," said Yizhen Jia, a co-author of the study from Ohio State University.

The team then conducted a number of tests. Among them, 10 volunteers were asked to sample different sour intensities in the liquids generated by the system, with the results revealing they were able to do so with an overall accuracy rate of 70%.

In another test six volunteers were asked to sample different combinations of liquids containing the flavour chemicals, with the combinations designed to represent five different edible items - lemonade, cake, fried egg, coffee, and fish soup. They were then asked to taste a liquid generated by the system and select the foods they thought it represented. Overall they completed the task with accuracy rate of almost 87% - although spiciness is yet to be cracked.

Marianna Obrist, a professor of multisensory interfaces at University College London, who was not involved in the work, welcomed the study.

"Taste stimulation is a particularly challenging area, yet the authors seem to present a compelling integration of taste sensations to enrich digital experiences," she said.
