Benefits (CMD)

1

Starting with a formulation

Calculate the NRF9.31 and place starting point P1 (NRF9.31/0) on the ΔNRF9.3 zero line

Initial formulation-based nutrition value determined and visualized

2

Pure formulation change

Calculate new NRF9.32 and insert point P2 (NRF9.32/0) on the ΔNRF9.3 zero line.

Horizontal shift from P1 to P2 on ∆NRF9.3 zero line indicates the nutrition quality change due to the formulation modification

3

Processing treatment application

Calculate ΔNRF9.3, insert point P3 (NRF9.33/ΔNRF9.3) in CMD and calculate FPFIN by Eq. (3)

Shift length (\(\sqrt{2\,}\)∆NRF9.3) of P2 to P3 along +45° inclined line (SL) through P2; denotes the processing impact on NV

Resulting FPFIN indicates the coupled formulation and processsing impact on the nutrition value NV
