Soft Computing to Aid Biologists Recognize Material Components in Food Products

An original decision support Web service is described, designed to aid biologists in identifying the animal and plant species of raw materials present in food products, based on the automatic analysis of their DNA bar-codes. This service allows to speed up a rather burden and meticulous task of biologists as well as standardizing the recognition so as to increase their confidence on the results whose objectives are assessing the quality of food products.
