Abstract

This paper proposes a system that automatically calculates the nutrients in recipes on the Web for users with little technical knowledge of nutrition. This system collects cooking information from web sites, identified ingredients, converted food quantities into grams and calculated the nutrients in each recipe. In addition, the system analyzed cooking procedures, such as boiling or roasting, and calculated the nutrients taking those into account. With this system, consumer who does not have knowledge about nutrients can learn that information and easily can understand nutrients of recipes.
