Why Consider FORMULATOR ™ Nutrient Version?
|
|
|
| As a Formula is developed the software calculates the algebraic sum of the raw materials nutrients. Tools are supplied to identify material loss and changes in Nutrients in the process that will change the final Nutrient level. Nutrients are calculated based on portion size or based on the the weight % within the formula. Calories can be calculated on demand as the formula is developed. Quality Control tests are developed identifying Critical Process Control points and target ranges of QC testing acceptability. |

|
The Nutrient version of FORMULATOR™ starts with the basic raw materials file. Each Raw Material is created with its basic nutritional levels. Specifications including user definable characteristics such as Pareve, Low Fat, ect. can be used to categorize materials. Filtering tools are provided to allow the Formulator to use the entire data base or definable portions of the raw materials data base to modify or create new formulas. Prices of materials are captured and used to cost formulas as they are developed. Allergens can be defined and each raw material can have Allergens identified in the material and as it is used in formula development. |
| FORMULATOR™Nutrient version is designed for food, beverages, feeds and even nutrient supplements! The software is supplied with all of the tools to build your materials data base, create the nutrient files and allergen logic, decide which enhance weight and volume conversions you will use at all levels of calculation, document your quality control tests and make them part of the formula development and testing program. User functions can be set by the primary user to limit changes to critical functions. Formulate in quantities or % weight and switch between methods. Calculate cost by unit of measure or package size as you formulate. Calculate nutrients by serving size then output the Nutrient Fact Label and Supplement Label to your specification. Tied with our Product Label features you can also output the Product Label prototype. Send the Product Label file with the Nutrient Fact Label file to your package design team for final packaging concept and design. |

FORMULATOR Nutrient ANALYZER Nutrient
ANALYZER is a set of unique software tools that
allow the user to meet multiple specific nutrient objectives
for defined recipes and formulations.
The user creates raw materials with nutritional values
based on portion size or dosage.
The initial formulation is created from a series of
candidate materials and quantity objectives by nutrient are
entered in the “Objectives” section.
Based on multiple material nutrient contents, ANALYZER
automatically re-formulates the product to meet multiple
specific nutrient performance targets.
As the Formulation (Recipe) is created or modified the data is gathered from the nutrient values of the raw materials and the mathematical engine balances the formula to meet the identified multiple nutritional objectives. ANALYZER allows the Formulation Chemist and Food Technologist to quickly modify formulas and recipes, balance the output and create new formulations per portion size or dosage for Foods, Beverages and Nutrient Supplements.

Nutrient & Supplemental “Label DESIGNER”
|
|
Label
Designer is a set of software tools that allow the user to
create as many variant Nutrient and Supplement labels as desired.
Once the master template is created the user can output formula
labels as the formulas and recipes are created or modified.
Template design can be limited to selected users.
Template output can be available by setting user rights in the
security set-up section. In Designer mode, the Designer half of the window is on the left, while the generator is on the right. The following example is reduced in size in order to illustrate the various areas:
|
|
| As the Formulation (Recipe)
is created or modified the data is developed to create a
standardized Nutrient and/or Supplement Label. Tools are
provided to over-ride calculated quantities and allow the user
to output based on reportable calorie quantities. Portion or
Dosage amounts are user definable as are many other features
of the Nutrient Label. This feature is designed to be a
working tool and not the final product label which may be
output to be modified to meet branding and design objectives. |
Signature Pad Functionality |

Alternately,
FORMULATOR can require a signature for all formula changes,
regardless of the formula group.
Using the ePad™ Signature Pad The
Interlink ePad plugs into
any USB port on your
computer. The drivers required are included with
the ePad
and are activated by the FORMULATOR
license file.
