A Metaheuristic Procedure for Calculating Optimal Osmotic Dehydration Parameters: A Case Study of Mushrooms
Journal Title: Transactions on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
The Firefly Algorithm (FA) metaheuristic is employed to determine the optimal parameter settings in a case study of the osmotic dehydration of mushrooms. In the case, the functional form of the dehydration model is established through a response surface technique and the resulting mathematical programming is formulated as a non-linear goal programming model. For optimization purposes, a computationally efficient, FA-driven method is used and the resulting optimal process parameters are shown to be superior to those from previous approaches.
