Estimate, Visualize and Store Food Properties

In your industry, do you need a quick estimate of a physical property to guide you in product and process development? In your research, do you need a deeper understanding of a food property, to obtain data for model building, or to share your data instantly with others? In the classroom, would you like to implement active learning where the student develops vastly improved insight into food properties and how process conditions affect them and form a multi-property understanding of a food? Quickly plot and export. Share your own data or keep it confidential.

While the equations and data are carefully obtained from published literature, the system is still under development so you can expect glitches and the software developers do not take responsibility for errors.

How it Works

Access Guide

Choose your food (with built-in composition). Choose your property and process condition, such as temperature or composition. Choose estimation equations from the literature. Choose to include discrete data points, whenever available. Visualize by plotting. Export the data if needed.

Select a Food Material

Choose a food from 50,000 built-in materials with composition data from the USDA database.

Select Properties and Conditions

Choose a property from 20+ thermodynamic, transport, electrical, and ultrasound properties, some at high pressure.

Select a built-in Prediction Formula

Choose from many built-in prediction equations that may be available for a food property.

Plot and Analyze

Compare multiple properties of the same food or the same property for multiple foods. Export data.

What is Possible

Get Started

Choose from 50,000+ built-in foods, 20+ properties, and hundreds of prediction equations from the research literature to estimate a property for your food. Change the built-in compositions to try "what if" scenarios. Visualize a property for up to 4 different foods together to see changes in composition, temperature, etc. Combine up to 4 different properties for a food to see how multiple properties are simultaneously affected by a process parameter. Upload and compare your own data with the built-in properties. Export properties.
