In recent years， with the food industry developing rapidly， food processing and manufacturing are moving from mechanization and automation towards intelligence. The food industry is facing huge challenges since food safety and quality need to be guaranteed， meanwhile the manufacturing efficiency should be improved， and cost and consumption should be reduced. With the development of various non-destructive detection methods， the expansion of control functions and the improvement of precision of sensors， and the advancement of artificial intelligence technology， different perception technologies highly integrated to collect the information about food quality parameters， food equipment operating parameters， and food sensory evaluation parameters to precisely control food processing and to save energy. This article reviewed recent advance of intelligent perception technology in food manufacturing from the aspects of in situ detection technology， bionic sensing technology and potential perception technology in order to promote their application and development.
