Description
Compare measured cooked solids with predicted initial solids.
Food quantities can be expressed on gross, edible, drained, raw, cooked, wet or dry bases. Yield and moisture corrections change the denominator and must be kept distinct from nutrient retention and the amount actually consumed.
Compare measured cooked solids with predicted initial solids.
When to use this tool
Use Cooked Recipe Evaporation Solids Gap when checking one supplied food-mass or concentration-basis conversion.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter initialMass, initialSolidsFraction, cookedMass, measuredCookedSolids. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read predictedSolids, measuredSolids, solidsResidual. Use the output convention below.
Compare measured cooked solids with predicted initial solids. Require nonnegative masses and solids fractions in [0,1]; compute each mass*fraction and return cooked-minus-initial solidsResidual.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- This exposes a supplied solids balance without proving evaporation-only change or analytical accuracy.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use food-appropriate measured yields and composition data with matching units; practical dietary or safety decisions require broader assessment.
