Recipe Calculation


 Updated 2023-05-23

 Using recipe calculation to estimate component content of composite foods

Apart from direct analysis, calculation of the content of components (nutrients, trace elements, etc.) of composite foods is one of the nutritionist's basic tools. Recipe calculations often include application of yield and retention factors.

Below is a collection of books, reports and scientific literature on the topic.

Books
USDA ARS Nutrient Data Laboratory reports and publications

USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory and its predecessors have a long tradition for using recipe calculations to obtain nutrient composition of composite foods. Some of the classic publications in the area comes from USDA.
