Abstract
ABSTRACT Efficient real‐time monitoring of directly unmeasurable variables, such as product moisture content and quality attributes, is crucial for optimizing process control in smart dryers. Advanced soft sensing techniques, which integrate analytical hardware with mathematical models, have enabled the development of intelligent drying systems. This review comprehensively evaluates applications of soft sensors for online monitoring in food drying, emphasizing performance characteristics such as accuracy, response time, and robustness for real‐time control. Key obstacles, including data contamination, model selection, and adaptability, are examined, and emerging solutions like adaptive algorithms and hybrid modeling strategies are discussed. The review highlights how soft sensors contribute to improved drying efficiency, energy savings, and product quality retention. Broader implications for related industries are also considered.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
