Question

Arrange in the correct sequence the Percentage method of recipe adjustment.

(i) Determine the total weight of the product needed.
(ii) Calculate the percentage of each ingredient in relation to total weight.
(iii) Convert all ingredients in recipe to gram unit and determine edible portion.
(iv) Check the ratio of ingredients which should be in proper balance.
(v) Multiply each percentage number by the total weight to give exact amount of the ingredient needed.
(vi) Total the weight of ingredients using edible portion.

Choose the correct answer from the code given below :

The correct answer is
(iii), (vi), (ii), (iv), (i), (v)

Recipe Adjustment Sequence

The Percentage Method is used to adjust recipes based on desired yield or ingredient changes. The correct sequence ensures accurate calculations.

Percentage Method Steps

Here are the steps for the Percentage Method of recipe adjustment in the correct order:

  1. (iii) Convert Ingredients to Grams: Start by converting all ingredient measurements in the original recipe to grams. Also, determine the edible portion (EP) weight for ingredients where applicable (e.g., peeling fruits/vegetables).
  2. (vi) Total Original Ingredient Weight: Sum the weights of all ingredients (using their edible portion weights if determined in the previous step) to find the total weight of the original recipe yield.
  3. (ii) Calculate Ingredient Percentages: For each ingredient, calculate its percentage relative to the total weight determined in step (vi). The formula is:
    $ \text{Percentage of Ingredient} = \left( \frac{\text{Weight of Ingredient}}{\text{Total Weight of Recipe}} \right) \times 100 $
  4. (iv) Check Ingredient Ratios: Review the calculated percentages to ensure the ratio of ingredients remains in proper balance according to the recipe's requirements or desired outcome.
  5. (i) Determine New Total Weight: Decide the total weight (yield) required for the adjusted recipe. This is the target weight you want the final product to have.
  6. (v) Calculate Exact Ingredient Amounts: Multiply the percentage of each ingredient (calculated in step ii) by the new total weight needed (determined in step i). This gives the exact weight of each ingredient required for the adjusted recipe. The formula is:
    $ \text{Exact Amount Needed} = (\text{Percentage of Ingredient} / 100) \times \text{New Total Weight} $

Therefore, the correct sequence is (iii), (vi), (ii), (iv), (i), (v).
