dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this paper is to propose artificial intelligence technologies as an innovative tool for designing recipes in culinary artistry. Since artificial intelligence technologies are widely used to generate content, we investigated the creation of recipes and consumers' acceptance of the sensory attributes of the final food product. Without additional guidance, the artificial intelligence program asked to create three recipes using the same ingredients (strawberry, chicken, and vine leaves). To test the overall liking and acceptance of the recipes, the hedonic test is applied to 118 untrained panelists. The results revealed that the overall acceptability scores for all three products are acceptable (>= 6.0), with the lowest score of 6.58 +/- 1.61. Artificial intelligence has shown that it can be an efficient tool for professional chefs to shorten the creativity process and design unimaginable combinations. This research is a pioneering study that measures the reliability and ability of artificial intelligence in creating recipes, which is a culinary creativity process. With the hedonic tasting results, this study also shows the consumers' acceptance of new dishes.
