Abstract:

Over the years, research in the life sciences has been fit greatly from the quantitative tools of mathematics and modeling. Many aspects of complex biological systems can be more deeply understood when mathematical techniques are incorporated into a scientific investigation. Modeling can be fruitfully applied in many types of food and nutrition research. As an example, modelling and optimization in nutrition is very important in planning meals for groups and individuals. Data base of nutritional composition of foods with mathematical and numerical methods covers the central concepts of practical optimization techniques such as fundamentals of linear optimization and simplex method, viewing software for optimization, programming and analysis, basics of fuzzy optimization. Using the field of nutrition, you can find many cases of recent advances in knowledge and understanding that were facilitated by the application of mathematical modeling to kinetic data, model of quality and needed food products which has influence of changing habits in food and diet.
