Chicago, ILLinois (July, 2003) -- Color-Tec Associates, Inc, announced the launch of a new set of powerful Windows software tools for the Food Technologist at the International Food Technology Exhibition, to be called FORMULATOR™ Nutrient Version. This dynamic package provides all of the latest graphics tools and calculation power of the Windows environment to aid Food Technologist’s rapid development of new formulations as well as modification and improvement of old formulations while calculating Nutrient levels at the portion level or as a % of formula.

Freed from transaction limitations of most ERP packages and yet more powerful than current Food Formulation software, FORMULATOR™ allows complete cut and paste tools from multiple formulas at multiple levels with full calculation of Nutrient properties, cost calculations and variable weights and measure as the formula is created. FORMULATOR has been installed and used in other industries by experienced Formulation Chemists from the Paint, Specialty Chemicals, Cosmetics, and Ink Industries, the consensus is that "this is the package they always dreamed of". The Nutrient version is the next logical market for FORMULATOR.

In addition to developing new formulas, FORMULATOR™ allows the Food Technologist to define Quality Control Tests, output test batch tickets and archive test results as the development of the recipe progresses. It also archives and documents QC tests and identifies critical control points to be monitored when the formulation is released to the Production Plant.

A new section of the www.formulatorus.com web site has been developed to show many of the features of FORMULATOR™ Nutrient Version. The software program will be available on CD to be tested live at no charge by qualified Food and Feed Technologists’. Literature and the free live test FORMULATOR software on CD are available from Color-Tec.
