Abstract

Although Bayesian networks have gained popularity in many fields, they have just recently emerged in food-related problems. This technique can be used as a tool for prediction, explanation, exploration or decision making under uncertainty. The chapter mainly gives a theoretical background of Bayesian networks through a food example. It also discusses the advantages and challenges, as well as potential applications of Bayesian networks in the food area.
