Tiivistelmä
Different people have different taste preferences. Personalized food production can address the unique food preferences and needs of consumers by allowing consumers to choose from a variety of ingredients and preparing ready to eat food based on that selection. A transition to personalized food production is essential to meet the unique preferences of consumers.
Various technological solutions to develop a novel pasta meal making machine was analyzed using literature review, systematic machine design process and laboratory bench tests. Important functions of different units of on-demand pasta production machine were identified and several possible solutions for each function were critically analyzed to choose the optimum solutions. The systematic machine design process was aided by laboratory bench tests to define the flour mixing and cooking unit operations of the pasta machine.
As a result of this thesis a working mechanism and three-dimensional model representation of an on-demand pasta meal production machine was developed. The results of this thesis can be used to develop a physical prototype of the pasta meal making machine.
