ENG: You can calculate water loss by weighing the product before and after heat treatment.
These two weights (before and after), or alternatively % loss, are entered into the system.
The system will then subtract the water loss first from the added water, before distributing it to the other ingredients.
This has an effect on both the list of ingredients and the technical nutritional value calculation.
NOR:
Vanntap kan du beregne ved å veie varen før og etter varmebehandling.
Disse to vektene (før og etter), alternativt % tap, legger du inn i systemet.
Systemet vil da trekke fra vanntapet først på tilsatt vann, før det fordeler seg utover på øvrige ingredienser.
Dette får effekt på både innholdsfortegnelsen og den tekniske næringsverdiberegningen.

MyFoodOffice allows you to create your own library of your own recipes. During this process our system will connect your recipe with the ingredients you are using from your suppliers. Our powerful algorithms will compile all the data that follows from the ingredients you select, and aggregate this information to a food declaration for the product you make.
You can click here to learn more about how you build your own recipes. (This link will direct the user to a new article in a different folder than the Food Declarations Module à Core concepts Folder – How to create a recipe).

This is the case if you use in your product a sub recipe and this sub recipe has of course its own composition. For example if your regular recipe contains flour and the sub recipe also, how can you display this in the Ingredient List?
To do this, you must create the original recipe and the sub recipe in your Recipes. Enter the ingredients as they are given for the original recipe and then create the sub recipe and add the sub recipe as an ingredient of the original recipe.
In the end of the creation go to the Product page of the product with a sub recipe and quid the sub recipe (meaning to mark the sub recipe in the QUID column) and save it. Now you see the Ingredient list has changed. If you have a recipe with a sub recipe and you do not quid the sub recipe in the final recipe, the ingredients will be displayed in descending order with no emphasis on whether it is a part of the original recipe or a part of the sub recipe.

A recipe is a list of ingredients you blend together to make a product. A recipe can also be used as an ingredient in other recipes. For example, a filling or a sponge bun you add to a cake, together with marzipan and jam. A product is a defined size of the recipe. It is the sales unit. The recipe may produce 8 kg dough, whereas the product is made out of 800 gram dough. In the system, a recipe can be related to product variants. For example, you might use the same dough for two types of products, large and small breads. This means you have the following three options when you want to make something new in MyFoodOffice A new product with a new recipe: By choosing this option, you will both define the recipe and the sales unit. A new product from an existing recipe: You already have defined the recipe for a type of bread, and now you just want to add a different sales unit. A recipe, if this recipe is an intermediate product, for example a filling. The filling is used in other recipes, but it is not sold directly to consumers.
