Recipe Calculation: How to handle Variability and Uncertainty?

Abstract

One of the main limit of evaluating the nutrient content of mixed dishes is variability and uncertainty of data. Our aim is to propose a method for recipe calculation taking in account this issue. We estimate here final uncertainty and variability of nutrient values in recipe according to initial choices of data. This method allows to take in account a large range of initial data as long as there is no outlier. This estimation may be a valued tool when experimental data are not available.
