* '''keep and show''' - try to keep the original entry as much as possible (remove typo's, etc) and show the user what the normalized variant is.

* '''plural / singular''' - should all ingredients be defined in singular or plural. It probably depends what is meant (or left out). If a raw ingredient says ''minerals'' or ''salts'', it does not say which mineral or salt. There can be more than one mineral or salt. So in the normalisation plurals should be kept.

* '''split/combine''' - it is tempting to combine ingredient names that point to the same ingredient. Whether one should do so depends on practical usage of the names. If both the names are used as often, it is better to keep them separate. If one name is obscure, let it be a synonym of the more prevalent name. For instance ''butterfat'' and ''ghee'' are used as often and should be kept separate, although they are the same ingredient.

* '''ingredient/product''' - ingredient lists can contains products, or better compound ingredients. A compound ingredient consists of multiple sub-ingredients. This can be listed as: ''compound ingredient (subingredient 1, subingredient2,...)'' or ''compound ingredient: subingredient1, subingredient2, ...;''. This structure should be kept intact, so a better normalisation can be done.
