For each recipe individual serving, CATERMAN
accommodates assignment of full nutrient/vitamin/mineral analysis, and also a
“Healthy Eating” score (for example, the WXY score for each food as indicated
in the September 2005 Nutrient
profiles: Further refinement and testing of Model SSCg3d Final Report
published by University of Oxford).
With this facility, a diner may be provided on
request with an itemised receipt detailing the nutrient/vitamin/mineral content
and/or the “Healthy Eating Score” (HES) for each recipe purchased individually
and in total or just in total.
Consequently, an empowered CATERMAN password holder
may produce reports for any date/time or range of dates/times for any
individual or designated (by type or analysis code(s)) group of individuals,
showing purchased recipe nutrient/vitamin/mineral content and/or HES. Should
the individuals be in a closely monitored environment, where the actual
consumption by the individual is recorded at dish-collection time, then an
analysis of actual consumption rather than purchased/provided is available (see
Maintenance of Consumption Screen).
An example of a report may be found at Sample List of Recipes Purchased/Consumed in Period (in
the live system, clicking on a recipe code brings up a recipe display similar
to Recipe for Jacket Potato with Beans).
Menus may be selected for analysis (based on one
serving of all or selected recipes from the menu) and subsequent choice of
further menus is accumulated so that, for example, a diner’s choices from menus
over a period of time (say, a week) may be accumulated and displayed. This is
particularly useful for menu planning especially where stipulated nutritional
targets or guidelines must be met.
To facilitate the assignment of
nutrient/vitamin/mineral analysis to recipes, a link is provided to a suitable
food analysis tool web site (either NATS
Nutrition Analysis Tools and System for a simple analysis, or US Department of
Agriculture National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference for a
complete analysis of known vitamins/minerals) so that the analysis in the form
of a table can be copied and pasted into the recipe (N.B. This is not part of
CATERMAN, and no permissions or assurances of accuracy are given or implied.). A
sample recipe amendment screen is Recipe Maintenance
Screen where the vitamin/nutrient analysis has been aggregated from USDA
queries by CATERMAN.
If you need a particular type of report or analysis
based on the collected data Tell us about
your particular requirements!
Further reports on existing database contents may be considered of
general benefit and hence incorporated into standard CATERMAN at no extra
charge! However, please remember that CATERMAN only provides the data for
analysis, and is not an analytical tool – you will need to extract the data
from CATERMAN in the form of a report or database or XML and import it into your
analysis/statistics systems. A typical report Nutrient/vitamin
Daily Analysis for a Period Omitting No-Data days may be copied/pasted into
a spreadsheet giving Spreadsheet Available for Graph
Generation, etc.

used to administer drugs, medicines or treatments in a menu cycle regime.
