Categories & ingredients

An overview of the food categories used by Orbisk.

The image recognition technology recognizes most of the ingredients in a photo. There are over 700 ingredients that our monitor can recognize. For example, a distinction is made between a red and a green apple and also between raw and cooked vegetables.

As there are many questions about the subdivisions we use, we would like to list the 22 categories for you below. For each category, we provide some examples of the ingredients that fall under it.

We also explain the difference between the categories unknown, other and wastage

NOTE: Due to the large number of ingredients, we mention only a few here. Do you have a specific question about an ingredient or parent category? Please contact us at success@orbisk.com

We would like to explain the categories below separately:

Unknown

Other

Cutting waste

When an ingredient is not recognised, we use the 'unknown' label.

When an ingredient does not fall under any of the above categories but is recognized, it falls under the 'other' category. Some examples:

Breakfast cereals
Mixed ingredients
Coconut flakes
Flour
Garnish
Oil

All fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells and coffee grounds fall under the cutting waste category.

NOTE: Cutting waste does not count towards the total weight, as this is seen as unavoidable waste.
