Analysis of Water Consumption in Fruit and Vegetable Processing Plants with the Use of Artificial Intelligence

Fruit and vegetable processing has a significant impact on the environment due to its consumption of a significant amount of water. Water consumption mainly depends on the type of production and the technology used. Water in fruit and vegetable processing plants is used as a raw material, an energy...
