Resumo(s)
Desde sempre que o ser humano procurou formas de melhorar a producão e o tratamento dos alimentos que consome. A utilização de aditivos alimentares e uma forma de tornar mais e cientes estes processos, mas também de fornecer aos produtos características que os tornem mais apetecíveis para os consumidores. Não obstante, existe uma desinformação generalizada que leva a controvérsias relacionadas com a segurança dos aditivos artificiais para a saúde humana. E importante o desenvolvimento de soluções que permitam educar a população sobre a adição destas substâncias aos produtos alimentares e consciencializar
para os potenciais riscos associados. Têm existido esforços neste sentido, com a construção de várias plataformas que agregam a informação mais relevante. Contudo, nenhuma delas se revela completa o suficiente e suportada por fontes fidedignas.
O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu no desenvolvimento de uma solução que incorpore a informação que consta na legislação europeia e ofereça alternativas naturais aos aditivos sintéticos. O trabalho foi realizado ao abrigo do projeto DeCodE e decorreu em colaboração com o Centro de Investigação de Montanha, pelo que a maioria dos requisitos já se encontravam definidos à partida. Com isto em mente, adotou-se uma arquitetura orientada a serviçoos, seguindo o modelo cliente-servidor. Da implementação do sistema resultou uma base de dados com informação normalizada e um servidor que disponibiliza uma API RESTful, assim como uma aplicação web moderna e ferramentas de data scraping.
Humans have always been looking for ways to improve the production and treatment of the food they eat. The use of food additives is a way to make these processes more e cient, but also to provide products with features that make them more attractive to consumers. Nevertheless, there is a generalized misinformation that leads to controversies regarding the safety of arti cial additives for human health. It is important to develop solutions to educate the population about the substances added to food and to raise awareness of the potential associated risks. E orts have been made in this regard, with several platforms that aggregate the most relevant information about food additives. However, none of them is complete enough and supported by reliable sources. The goal of this work was to develop a solution that incorporates the information contained in European legislation and o ers natural alternatives to synthetic additives. The work was done under the scope of the DeCodE project and was carried out in collaboration with the Mountain Research Center (CIMO), so most of the requirements were already de ned at the outset. With this in mind, a service-oriented architecture was adopted, following the client-server model. The implementation of the system resulted in a database with standardized information and a server that provides a RESTful API, as well as a modern web application and data scraping tools.
