Batch Size Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the batch size is:

\[ BS = \left( \frac{IA}{IP} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

\( BS \) is the batch size (grams)
\( IA \) is the amount of the ingredient used in the recipe (grams)
\( IP \) is the percentage of the ingredient in the recipe (%)

What is Batch Size?

Batch size refers to the total amount of product produced in a single manufacturing run. It is an important concept in production and cooking, where precise measurements are necessary to maintain consistency and quality. Knowing the batch size is crucial when scaling recipes up or down to meet production needs or to adjust for the number of servings required.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Amount of Ingredient (IA) = 50 grams
Percentage of Ingredient (IP) = 10%

Using the formula to calculate the batch size:

\[ BS = \left( \frac{50}{10} \right) \times 100 = 500 \text{ grams} \]

The batch size is 500 grams.
