Nutrition Labeling
TechWizard™ makes it easy to prepare a nutrition facts panel, supplement facts panel, spec sheet, nutrition data sheet, ingredient statement, or allergen statement for any food product. Formulas can be adjusted for moisture and/or fat content. Information can be printed, saved as a PDF document, or as an Excel file. Create a high quality graphics file for your Nutrition Facts in a variety of formats.
Ingredient Database
Ingredient information is easily entered and edited in the ingredient file. The entire USDA Food Composition database is also provided. The new master ingredient file feature makes it easy to update and maintain multiple ingredient files. The Ingredient Request Wizard™ makes it easy to get the latest information from your vendors. Multiple users can edit the ingredient file simultaneously.
Formulation Based on Artificial Intelligence
TechWizard™ is the perfect formulation tool especially for nutrient drinks, nutrient bars, meat, dairy products, cultured products, frozen desserts, processed cheese and snack foods. It can quickly provide cost analysis for any amount of product. With TechWizard™ you can prepare least-cost formulations while setting limits on a variety of properties such as fat, total solids, protein, calories, sodium, sweetness, etc. Create your own properties or build complex property equations to formulate for any requirement.
Specification Sheets
Creating specification sheets is a snap with TechWizard™. A specification sheet can be created for either a formula or an ingredient and it can include information on any property including Kosher status, organic status and allergen content. Put your company’s logo at the top of the report and print or save as a PDF document or an Excel file.
Frozen Desserts
Owl Software is the industry leader for formulating and evaluating frozen dessert products. TechWizard Online™ includes a variety of formulation tools based on Artificial Intelligence and reporting tools that are tailor made for creating frozen desserts, novelties, and inclusions. TechWizard™ has features for calculating the overrun of plain products or products containing inclusions.
Goal Oriented Formulation
One of the more difficult tasks involved with developing a new formulation is determining how much of each ingredient to use to meet compositional, quality, and flavor goals. In the beginning stages of product development the researcher may only be interested in knowing if such a formulation can be found. You may be starting from a recipe in a cookbook. You may need to trim fat, sodium and/or calories from your products. We refer to this process as goal oriented formulation. TechWizard™ has Artificial Intelligence features that help you determine your goals and how to meet them.
Reverse Engineering
Need to duplicate an existing product or determine if someone is infringing on a patent? TechWizard’s Artificial Intelligence feature has the capability to use product analyses results or a product’s nutrition label and the ingredient list to develop an equivalent formulation.
Specialized Food Product Calculations
TechWizard™ has specialized calculations to aid in formula evaluation and development. TechWizard™ calculations encompass: alcohol content, ice content, mass balance, and moisture loss to name a few.
Import Supplier Information
When you are developing a new product, preparing a nutrition label, or an allergen statement you need the latest ingredient information from your suppliers. This is a simple task with Owl Software’s import features. These features allow you to update ingredient composition, Kosher status, organic status and allergen content with the click of a button.
