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.

The Ingredient List is generated based on the ingredients you entered when creating your recipe. Ingredients are shown in  descending order. That means, the ingredient that has the largest proportion of the recipe is displayed first. The following ingredients then have a smaller proportion.

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.

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.
