    From Preferences to Ingredients - Customised Beverage Product Formulation Workshop
    (Cranfield University, 2018-03-15 10:12) Makatsoris, Harris; McMulloch, Josie; Wagner, Christian
    This work aims to test if we can create tailored orange drinks from a consumer's description of their ideal drink. Their description is converted into ingredient quantities, with which a drink is created using our beverage formulator. The consumer then tastes the drink and assesses if it correctly matches what they requested.

    Linking Human and Machine - Towards Consumer - Driven Automated Manufacturing
    (Cranfield University, 2017-03-10 13:55) Isaev, Samet; Jreissat, Mohannad; Wagner, Christian; Makatsoris, Harris
    We established a link between linguistic descriptors describing food preferences and product manufacturing processes. Model-based methodology was employed to translate consumer preferences into product and process specifications. The aim of the research is the large scale personalization of formulated food product manufacture where consumers are also the con-creators of the food products they wish to buy. Fuzzyset modelling was used to capture the preferences and perceptions by different group of people. Then, models were employed to established the links between such product attributes and the actual formulation parameters to make the product.
