FOOD STEGANOGRAPHY

摘要

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for calculating a food additive. A first method includes identifying chemical compounds of an averse food ingredient, identifying chemical compounds of a flavorful food ingredient and calculating a set of chemical compounds for the food additive such that an olfactory perception of a mixture of the averse food ingredient, the flavorful food ingredient and the food additive is the same as an olfactory perception of only the flavorful food ingredient. A first device includes a database storing information identifying chemical compounds of an averse food ingredient and identifying chemical compounds of a flavorful food ingredient, and a processor for calculating a food additive such that an olfactory perception of flavors of a mixture of the averse food ingredient, the flavorful food ingredient and the food additive is the same as an olfactory perception of only the flavorful food ingredient.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
a database configured for storing information relating to individual chemical compounds; a processor communicatively coupled to the database and configured for formulating a food additive comprising a combination of the individual chemical compounds such that a first predicted human olfactory perception is the same as a second predicted human olfactory perception, where the first predicted human olfactory perception is of flavors of a mixture of a first food ingredient comprising a first subset of the individual chemical compounds, a second food ingredient comprising a second subset of the individual chemical compounds that includes at least one chemical compound not included in the first subset of the individual chemical compounds, and the food additive, and the second predicted human olfactory perception is of only the second food ingredient; and a compound mixer for mixing the combination of the individual chemical compounds, under the direction of the processor, to produce the food additive in a form that is suitable for human consumption.
