Batch Blend Yield at 70% target batch yield: a worked example

This worked example runs the batch blend yield numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 70% target batch yield instead of the typical 97%. Calculate blend yield for a flavor, fragrance, essential oil, solvent dilution, or aroma chemical batch by comparing finished accepted weight with the theoretical batch size.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted finished batch weight: 485 kg (held at the documented default)
  • Theoretical formula batch weight: 500 kg (held at the documented default)
  • Target batch yield: 70 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 97)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Batch Blend Yield rate = accepted finished batch weight ÷ theoretical formula batch weight × 100.
  • Batch Blend Yield rate works out to 97 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Batch Blend Yield gap to target works out to -27 points at these inputs.
  • Accepted finished batch weight works out to 485 kg at these inputs.
  • Theoretical formula batch weight works out to 500 kg at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target batch yield sits at 97% and the headline result is 97 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 97 %.
  • Use it at batch close-out, after QC release, to confirm the batch landed within expected process loss before it ships or moves to filling. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Batch Blend Yield rate: 97 % (headline result)
  • Batch Blend Yield gap to target: -27 points
  • Accepted finished batch weight: 485 kg
  • Theoretical formula batch weight: 500 kg
