There are many pages that discuss Recipes. To facilitate the accessibility to these pages, a small overview is presented here.

Introduction

Theory

Examples

To better understand the issues in estimating the recipe of a product, several cases have been analysed in more depth:

  • Apple Syrup - an example with a single ingredient;
  • Cake - an example where each ingredient defines a single nutrient;
  • Four nut mix - an example where we know the composition of the product;
  • Mozzarella - an example where the input sugars have been transformed by the production process;
  • Petit Beurre;
  • Vegetarian Lasagne - an example of a complex product;

Tool

The recipe_estimator tool uses an optimization approach to estimate the percentage ingredients of a product by minimising the variance between the quoted product nutrients and the nutritional information obtained for the product's ingredients.

Notes on the evolution of this tool can be found here.
