The software measures the total functional protein value (FPV), allowing the manufacturer to vary the stickiness, meltability, and texture of the end product, reported Dairyreporter.com.
Initially, the manufacturers should establish parameters including the finished composition and FPV, and the minimum/maximum percentages of certain ingredients. Using this information, the software optimizes the percentage of the available ingredients to create the least cost formulation.
