Recipe Calculation


The Recipe Calculation/Retention Factors page:

Food composition data are often derived by calculations using a recipe of raw and/or prepared single foods or ingredients to estimate the composition of the composite food. Recipe calculation is also used in food labelling, e.g. to produce the figures in the nutrition label.

The recipe calculation procedures can be simple weighted calculations or complicated calculations including yield factors for volatile ingredients (water, fat, alcohol) and retention factors for vitamins.
