The Place and Importance of Artificial Intelligence in the Gastronomy Sector

Abstract

The demand for artificial intelligence in the world is increasing day by day in the gastronomy sector. In this study, the importance of artificial intelligence in the gastronomy sector is emphasized and the studies on this subject are mentioned. Since the studies in the literature are limited, studies on all sub-branches related to artificial intelligence-based gastronomy and tourism are mentioned. The number of studies related to gastronomy and artificial intelligence in the literature is limited. Therefore, in this study, artificial intelligence applications used in the gastronomy sector are detailed under the subheadings of cuisine, promotion, health, and forecasting. Accordingly, approximately 40 articles were analyzed considering these sub-headings. In light of the information obtained from these studies, artificial intelligence systems to be developed in the gastronomy sector will provide great gains. Moreover, it is estimated that meeting consumer expectations and using innovative technologies in the gastronomy sector will increase the popularity of gastronomy science.
