         12 . A system for creating adaptively transformed nutritional substances from one or more component nutritional substances, the system comprising:
 a dynamic information identifier associated with each component nutritional substance for allowing retrieval of dynamically generated source information for the component nutritional substances,   said source information comprising at least one of a nutritional value, an organoleptic value, or an aesthetic value of the component nutritional substance; and   a transformer for adaptive transformation of said component nutritional substances with processing parameters responsive to said source information for improvement, maintenance, or minimization of degradation of the nutritional value, the organoleptic value, or the aesthetic value of one or more component nutritional substances following adaptive transformation.   
     
     
         13 . A system for creating adaptively transformed nutritional substances from one or more component nutritional substances according to  claim 12  wherein:
 said dynamically generated source information is useful for indicating a ΔN, a maturation, stabilization or expiration date or data associated with the ΔN, and wherein ΔN is a change in a nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic value of one or more component nutritional substances occurring prior to said adaptive transformation; said change comprising any of a maintenance, improvement, or degradation; and 
 the dynamic information identifier associated with one or more component nutritional substances further allows retrieval of information demonstrating origination or content of said component nutritional substance.
