Ingredient Specification Sheet
Ingredient specification sheets are a snap with TechWizard™. This specification sheet can be created for either a formula or an ingredient and it can include information on any property including Kosher status, organic status and allergen content. Put your company’s logo at the top of report and print or save as a PDF document or an Excel file. Our new report was featured in a recent article in Food Technology on nutrition labeling.

- Least Cost Formulation & Formula Cost Analysis
TechWizard™ is the perfect formulation tool especially for nutrient drinks, nutrient bars, meat, dairy products, cultured products, frozen desserts, processed cheese and snack foods. It can quickly provide cost analysis for any amount of product. With TechWizard™ you can prepare least-cost formulations while setting limits on a variety of properties such as fat, total solids, protein, calories, sodium, sweetness, etc. Create your own properties or build complex property equations to formulate for any requirement. -
Goal Oriented Formulation
One of the more difficult tasks involved with developing a new formulation is determining how much of each ingredient to use to meet compositional, quality, and flavor goals. In the beginning stages of product development the researcher may only be interested in knowing if such a formulation can be found. You may be starting from a recipe in a cookbook. You may need to trim fat, sodium and/or calories from your products. We refer to this process as goal oriented formulation. TechWizard™ has special features that help you determine your goals and how to meet them. -
