1. A dynamic appliance for local storage or conditioning of nutritional substances, comprising:
- an appliance reader for detection or input of a dynamic information identifier provided with a nutritional substance, whereinthe dynamic information identifier is referenced to information contained in a nutritional substance industry database regarding changes in nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic values and information regarding origin and creation of the nutritional substance; and
an appliance controller for tracking the information contained in the nutritional substance industry database, whereinsaid tracking enables determination of compliance or non-compliance with general consumer requirements or with a specific consumer'"'"'s requirements relating to the changes in nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic values due to the operation of the appliance.

6. A system for nutritional substances comprising
one or more dynamic appliances, each comprising: -
a controller for detecting values of physical attributes of a nutritional substance and a consumer'"'"'s input regarding the nutritional substance; and sensors for sensing the values of physical attributes of the nutritional substance; and a library comprising datasets of the physical attributes referenced to known nutritional substances at known nutritional, organoleptic, and aesthetic states, wherein sensed physical attributes are compared with the datasets to determine a matching dataset; and an input panel for acquiring the consumer'"'"'s input;
wherein the controller provides an adaptive storage or conditioning sequence responsive to the matching dataset and the consumer'"'"'s input. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. A method for adaptively conditioning or storing nutritional substances comprising the steps of:
-
sensing values corresponding to physical attributes of a nutritional substance; and detecting a consumer'"'"'s input regarding the nutritional substance; and comparing the values to a library comprising datasets of sensed physical attribute values referenced to known nutritional substances at known nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic states; and determining a matching dataset and corresponding nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic state; and providing an adaptive conditioning or storage sequence responsive to the corresponding nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic state and the consumer'"'"'s input.
