Application of multi-objective optimization in food refrigeration processes.

Summary

During the refrigeration of food, often more than one objective has to be maximized or minimized, and constraints must simultaneously be satisfied: microbial growth, cost, processing time, energy cost, etc. A suitable optimization method for dealing with this kind of multi-objective constrained optimization is the use of genetic algorithms (GAs). The paper shows how a multi-objective optimization method using GAs can be used to produce a range of solutions from which the users can select the solution most suitable to their own needs, depending on the importance they attach to each objective.
