FOOD PREPARATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274976 titled 'FOOD PREPARATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The food preparation system described in the patent application weighs ingredients added to a receptacle, estimates the corresponding amount of different sugar types based on the identified ingredient and its added weight, and calculates the total sugar content and sweetness index of the overall recipe. The system then analyzes if there are alternative recipes with reduced total sugar content but similar sweetness index, and suggests these alternative recipes to the user.
- Weighs ingredients added to receptacle
- Estimates corresponding amount of different sugar types based on identified ingredient and weight
- Calculates total sugar content and sweetness index of recipe
- Analyzes for alternative recipes with reduced sugar content but similar sweetness index
- Suggests alternative recipes to user
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in:
- Home cooking
- Professional kitchens
- Food manufacturing
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following issues:
- Overconsumption of sugar
- Difficulty in finding healthier recipes
- Lack of tools to easily adjust sugar content in recipes
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Healthier recipe options
- Customizable sugar content
- Easy to use system for adjusting sweetness levels
Potential Commercial Applications
The system could be commercially applied in:
- Kitchen appliances
- Recipe apps
- Health and wellness platforms
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be:
- Smart kitchen scales with recipe suggestions
Unanswered Questions
How does the system determine the sweetness index of the overall recipe?
The sweetness index is likely calculated based on the total sugar content and the type of sugar used in the recipe.
Can the system suggest alternative recipes for specific dietary restrictions?
The system may be able to suggest alternative recipes based on specific dietary restrictions if programmed to do so, but this information is not explicitly mentioned in the abstract.
Original Abstract Submitted
A food preparation system weighs ingredients added to a receptacle. For identified ingredient and its added weight, a corresponding amount of a set of different sugar type is estimated, and a total sugar content and a sweetness index of the overall recipe is derived. The system determines if there are suitable alternative recipes with reduced total sugar content and similar sweetness index and suggests such determined alternative recipes to the user.
