Machine Learning Model Can Predict Consumer Enjoyment of Beer by Analyzing Its Chemistry
- Belgian researchers used machine learning to correlate beer chemistry with taste and predict consumer appreciation
- They documented chemical properties from 250 beers and linked 180,000 sensory descriptions from reviews and taste panels
- The machine learning model achieved higher overall appreciation in blind taste tests
- The tool could help improve quality control and recipe development for beer and other foods
- A goal is to use the model to help make better alcohol-free beers
