Dataform: Modifying Ingredient Density in an Ingredient File

The user should already have the ingredient editor open. To do this, please refer to Ingredient Editor – Open the Current Ingredient File.

If you know the density in Kg/L, you can enter the density values directly, please refer to Editing Values in  a Selected Property Column in an Ingredient File. Note – if the volume choice is set to 2, only the density in Kg/L is used. The other density values are displayed for review purposes only. If the volume choice is set to 1 or 3, the density is calculated when the ingredient is used in a formula.

To access the density editor that is part of the Ingredient Data Form:

Click the Ingredient button and select Edit / View Density.

The Ingredient Data Form appears (see figure below).

Select the ingredient you wish to edit (A). If it is not in the list, close the form and add it.

Enter the value directly in the space provided (B) or use the Density Calculator. Note – if the volume choice is not 2 then always use the density calculator.

To use the Density Calculator:
Select a density option (C) and enter information if needed. Press the Calculate button if needed.

If the ingredient will not disperse in water check the box (D).

Press the Enter button (B). This will also update the density if the Update when Enter clicked checkbox is checked (B). If is not, click the Update button.

Close the window when finished. When prompted to save changes answer yes.
