Three Component Food Mixtures
Three Component Food Mixtures
This Demonstration calculates the mass of three food ingredients that will form a mixture of a chosen mass having a specified moisture content and amount of carbohydrates, fat or protein (CFP), etc. Each ingredient is specified by its percent moisture and percent CFP. The calculation is based on three mass balances: the total mass, the moisture and the CFP. If there is exactly one, solution the numerical results are displayed in a table. The proportion of each component in the mixture is also displayed in a pie chart along with two other pie charts that illustrate how much each ingredient contributes to the mixture's moisture and CFP.
