An "ingredient list" is a compilation of all the ingredients needed for preparing a specific product. It typically includes a detailed listing of the quantities and types of foods or other components to be used in the preparation. The ingredient list serves as a guide for chefs, home cooks, food manufacturers, and others to ensure that all necessary ingredients are present and used correctly.
Typical features of software in the realm of "ingredient lists" may include:

Automatic quantity calculation: The software can automatically calculate the required quantities of ingredients based on the number of servings or production quantity.
Integration with recipe management: The software may integrate with recipe management to automatically extract ingredients from recipes or to directly use ingredient lists within recipes.
