Food ingredient calculators and selection tools
Each tool narrows a real formulation or procurement decision. None of them replaces your own validation: challenge testing, shelf-life trials and permitted-use verification stay with you.
Food Preservative Selector
Enter product type, pH band, water activity band and the spoilage you are fighting. The selector narrows the preservative families worth evaluating and states the watch-outs and what you must still validate.
Open toolGum Dosage & Substitution Calculator
Convert a validated use rate into kilograms per batch, and convert a substitution at equal use rate or at your own tested equivalence factor. The calculator does arithmetic only — it never decides that a use rate is correct.
Open toolHydrocolloid Hydration Troubleshooter
Pick the symptom you see in the tank — lumps, fisheyes, low viscosity, viscosity loss or batch-to-batch variation — and get likely causes, what to check, a possible process direction and material-specific watch-outs.
