Smart solar cooking with a box oven: modelling and early validation with the su...

Solar energy is a clean, free, and abundant source, with high potential for sustainable cooking applications, even in low ambient temperature conditions. Despite their environmental and nutritional benefits, solar cookers remain underutilized in developed economies. The SUNRISE project supports the energy transition in food systems by leveraging solar radiation and artificial intelligence to develop smart, low-...

Smart solar cooking with a box oven: modelling and early validation within the ...

Aim: The SUNRISE project (Smart Use of SuNlight Radiation for Innovative and SustainablE Cooking) is a three-year interdisciplinary initiative (2025–2027) that brings together food engineering, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy. It includes four key tasks: (1) assessing the effects of solar slow cooking on food quality, (2) modelling and simulating thermal behaviour, (3) designing AI-enhanced cooker...

Slow and sustainable: texture and colour assessment of solar-cooked chickpeas

Slow and sustainable: texture and colour assessment of solar-cooked chickpeas

Aim: To evaluate the texture and colour of chickpeas cooked using three different methods - gas stove, kitchen robot (Bimby®), and the Suntaste solar oven - to assess the potential of slow, energy-efficient techniques as sustainable alternatives to conventional cooking, while maintaining desirable quality in legume-based food preparation. Method: Chickpeas were soaked at a 1:4 (w/v) ratio for 12 hours at room t...
