Ingredients Archive

This archive contains all the ingredients for the composition of mixtures and recipes. Some ingredients may be created from recipes or mixes by the user and stored in this archive using the special feature in the archives Mixes and Recipes.

The list of ingredients

The view as a list of ingredients allows fast selection by category. Click on the Category field, if it is empty you can assign a category to the ingredient, but if the field contains a value, vereranno selects only those ingredients that category. The other fields on the right shows the most important values in relation to the balance, price and caloric intake.

You can scroll through the list using the arrow keys on your keyboard: left arrow to go up, right, going down arrow to go top, down arrow to go to the end. Press <Return> to open the tab highlighted, or click the mouse on the name of the ingredient.

 

The buttons in the toolbar for this screen perform the following functions, respectively, from left to right:

Go to the tab, Display List (disabled), Show All, Sort ascending Sort descending, New ingredient, Print the complete list of ingredients grouped by category, Delete the current ingredient.

Rightmost bar buttons for options and to access this help.


The ingredient card

The button bar has a few small differences from the display list:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Respectively, from left to right:

  1. Module view (disabled)
  2. List view displays the list of ingredients
  3. Find all makes all the ingredients active
  4. Update data in recipes after making changes to an ingredient, this button updates all records in mixes and recipes that use the ingredient
  5. New ingredient to create a new one from scratch
  6. Duplicate Ingredient duplicates the current ingredient renamed with the suffix "copy".
  7. Delete Ingredient prompt and then deletes the card when the ingredient is not used in mixtures or recipes. If the ingredient IS part of mixtures or recipes can not be eliminated


Fields of Ingredient card


The ingredient card contains the various useful fields for mix balancing, the calculation of costs and calories intake: sugar, fat, SLNG, PAC, POD, alcohol and other solids are needed for balance.

All values entered in these fields must refer to the content per 100 grams.

In particular, the sugars require some more attention given their importance in the composition of ice cream. Sucrose is generally used as the primary sugar, so the sheets related to sucrose (cane or beet sugar in various forms) must be identified by checking the box 'sucrose': this hides the fields that are to the right of box, as it is not necessary to compile it.

Auxiliary sugars (dextrose, glucose, etc..) maltodextrins, syrups must be identified by checking the box "is a sugar" and possibly inputting information on the percentage of use compared to sucrose and molecular mass. The percentage of use is to suggest the right amount during the composition of the mixture (the recommended value is still editable). The indication of the molecular mass is used instead to determine the corrected coefficient for the calculation of the PAC.

The value of water is calculated by difference by subtracting from 100 the amount of other components, but can be changed manually.

Other carbohydrates and other proteins are used to obtain a correct calculation of calories. The field value Kcal x 100 g. it is calculated by assigning 4 calories for each gram of sugar, other carbs, protein, milk (SLNG) and other proteins; 7 calories for every gram of alcohol, at 9 calories per gram of fat.

Base if the checkbox is selected, reveals one more field


where you can enter the correct weight for each kg of mixture. The use of this data base powder is useful. In the composition of the mixture, the base may be mentioned in the proposal for the correct amount of weight added to the mixture until then. The advice then is to insert the basis for last in the list of ingredients, or to cancel the weight and re-select the item from the list of ingredients to get back recalculation based on the total.

No Food checkbox is used to identify those ingredients that are not edible (paper cups, decorations ...) and should not appear in the list of ingredients of mixtures, but must be calculated anyway in the total mixture cost.

The own semi-finished checkbox is automatically checked by the program at the time of the creation of an ingredient from a mixture or a recipe and can not be changed.

In the central part, the fields for measure units and the cost of the ingredient.


Purchase unit can be a unit as kg. l., or it can be inserted freely, eg you can type "conf", or "box" or "bucket". Using a unit of Anglo-Saxon adp or metric (kg, l, oz. etc.) Gelato Italiano automatically interprets its contents and fill in the fields Content in g., Dose unit and those which are in the dose unit.
If you use a primary unit of measurement as "bucket"or "tin", the program can not know what the content is in grams and then leave it blank.
Likewise, in choosing a unit dose metric units or ADP will be automatically populated in the fields below. If you use a unit as No. or pc. need to manually fill in the fields.
This information is important for the calculation of weights, cost and caloric content of blends and recipes.

Lower down, the Notes / Conditions of use field: If the box is checked in the options screen
the field content will be shown in the help (tooltip) that appears under the mouse cursor when one stops on the line of the ingredient included in a mixture

Finally, the Product Image field is a container, and behaves the same way of the container field on Mix card .
