      summary: Individual Text Line Analysis
      description: 'This returns the nutritional analysis for the specified food text by extracting information from a short

        unstructured food text (usually an ingredient line and returns the following structured data for the text:

        quantity, measure and food,) and if available: diet, health and allergen labels for the text.  With the built

        in food logging feature, this allows for change of context. For example, “rice” will normally be matched to raw

        rice while, with the food logging feature on, it will match to ready to eat ‘cooked rice.’'
