If there is a need to isolate a number of ingredients from the optimisation result, users can do so from within the optimisation window. As such, users can create mixes (premixes, concentrates, etc.) directly from a compound - quickly and easily. ## Step 1 Select a number of ingredients by assigning an alphanumerical character (e.g. “v” or “m” or “3”) in the mix column.

The selected mini-composition is stored as a compound (with requirements), and saved as a raw material - all in the background. Ultimately, the selection in the main compound is replaced by the new premix material.
