Abstract
Dietary nutrition analysis is important because it can provide scientific guidances for human to keep healthy and administrative departments to make rational decisions. However, the existing dietary nutrition analysis methods need to be improved. On the one hand, the data to be processed should be more accurate. Most methods use a sample taken at a moment time to represent all samples produced during a period of time, which neglects the fact samples may change over time. On the other hand, data analysis should be efficiently and effectively, as the number of samples is rapidly increasing and the types of samples are constantly emerging. This paper introduces a new method. Firstly, samples are preprocessed using a data model obtained by big data processing. Secondly, the fuzzy c-means algorithm is parallelized with Mapreduce for data analysis. The optimization rules are given. Finally, the experiments prove that this method is efficiently and effectively.
