Ingredient Database
The ingredient database is where the ingredients and any corresponding compositional data are stored. The entire USDA Food Composition database (5976 items) is included in TechWizard.
Ingredient Composition Checker - This option allows the user an easy way to view ingredients and to check whether or not major ingredient information is correct.
Ingredient Search Feature - This feature helps the user quickly find an ingredient in the database.
Translating a Nutrition Label into Ingredient Information - At times the only information a research and development team may have for an ingredient is its nutrition label. TechWizard™ makes it possible to quickly enter nutrition label values, convert the values into the correct format, and add this information to the ingredient database.
  Data Entry Form - Using this form TechWizard™ makes it possible to quickly enter nutrition information into the Ingredient Database.
Price Editor - TechWizard™ provides users the ability to enter and view prices on a per pound basis, a per kilogram basis, or to calculate price per unit weight when only price per unit volume is known (for example, price per 8 fl. oz. or price per L). A user can quickly update prices using the price editor. If you need to interface the TechWizard™ with an existing program to update price, we can do that too.
  Density Editor - TechWizard™ provides a variety of equations for the calculation of density as well as a complete description of each. The Density Editor makes it easy to convert grams per cup, or any given weight per any given volume, to an appropriate density value then transfer that value to the ingredient database.
Easy Ingredient Transfer - Ingredients can be transferred from one database file to another or shared with other TechWizard™ users. Information for an ingredient in a database can be viewed without having to load it into TechWizard™.  By the press of a button, a formula is quickly converted into an ingredient (referred to as a sub-formula) and added to the ingredient database.
  Business-To-Business / Electronic Commerce - It's ability to transfer ingredient information from one user to another makes TechWizard™ the perfect tool to facilitate electronic commerce.
