Can I use this to generate a formula for a new plant-based meat?

Yes! Use the `create_formulation` tool to instruct Giuseppe to model a specific animal product (e.g., 'Target: Pulled Pork'). You can pass constraints like 'no soy' or 'must contain pea protein'. Giuseppe will return a mathematically generated formula combining plant extracts that mimic the target's molecular profile.

How does Giuseppe match specific flavors?

The `search_flavor_matches` tool analyzes NotCo's proprietary database. Instead of searching for 'beef flavor', Giuseppe searches for the specific volatile molecular compounds that create the beef flavor, and then finds combinations of seemingly unrelated plants (like pineapple and cabbage) that, when combined mathematically, replicate that exact molecular behavior.

Can I predict the cost of a new formulation before making it?

Absolutely. Once Giuseppe generates a formulation, you can pass its ID to the `estimate_cost` tool. The API cross-references the required plant ingredients with global B2B commodity pricing databases to give you an estimated per-kilogram cost for mass production.
