Dear friends and
colleagues,
These are very sad news. The
food composition family is losing an important member.
Joanne had great knowledge and visions, and was always ready
to share it in training workshops, country visits, among
colleagues in person and over the e-mail. She has advanced
the food composition science a lot, adding new features and
giving others a good example. Not only was she a great
colleague but also a very nice, warm and caring person. I am
sure, she will remain in the hearts and good memories of
many, including mine.
I
feel privileged having known her and worked with her.
Joanne will be greatly
missed
In the name of
INFOODS, I wish to express our condolence to her family and
friends. May she rest in peace
Ruth
INFOODS coordinator

Subject: death of Joanne Holden
In memory of Joanne Holden,
MS
Retired from ARS-USDA June 30, 2012
Passed away October 2, 2014
Joanne Holden received her BS in Foods and
Nutrition from the University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware.
She worked for the University of Maryland (UMD) Cooperative
Extension Service in Frederick County before enrolling in
the UMD Graduate School. She joined the Beltsville
Human Nutrition Research Center, Agricultural Research
Service, USDA in 1969 as a Support Scientist in the
Carbohydrate Metabolism Laboratory where she conducted
research on the effects of carbohydrate intake and
metabolism while completing the MS degree in Human Nutrition
Research. Ms. Holden assisted in the conduct of some of the
first (BHNRC) human feeding studies and the analysis of
human biological samples. She then worked as a Research
Nutritionist in the Food Composition Laboratory (now FCMDL),
BHNRC for 20 years. She worked with Dr. Wayne Wolf and
others to sample and analyze various types of foods for
nutrient content, the results of which were included in the
Human Nutrition Information Service (HNIS) National Nutrient
Databank. Joanne developed food sampling plans for use in
various FCL research projects as well as expert systems for
evaluating the quality of analytical data for both inorganic
and organic components in foods. This led to her interest in
the assessment of data quality for newly recognized
bioactive compounds such as flavonoids in foods.
Joanne joined the Nutrient
Data Laboratory (NDL) as Research Leader in 1995, providing
leadership and coordination in the acquisition, evaluation,
compilation and dissemination of food composition data and
related research efforts. This included the National
Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR), the
authoritative source of U.S. food composition data. Her
research interests in food sampling, bioactive compounds and
the evaluation of data quality led to the development and
coordination of the National Food and Nutrient Analysis
Program (NFNAP), which has supported the generation of
current, accurate original analytical data for ~2000 foods
targeted as the most significant contributors of nutrients
in the US diet. She authored many publications and
presentations on USDA food composition research.
Joanne served as the
Co-Director of the International Postgraduate Course for the
Production, Management, and Use of Food Composition Data
between 1994 and 2005, which is coordinated and supported by
the Food and Agriculture Organization (INFOODS), Rome,
Italy, the Wageningen Agricultural University, Wageningen,
The Netherlands and the European Food Information Research
Program (EuroFIR), Norwich, U.K. This international course
has trained more than 400 scientists from 85 countries since
1992; she taught in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa
to groups of analytical chemists, data compilers, and users
of food composition data on the topics of food sampling,
data quality evaluation, and the development of food
composition databases and will be remembered all around the
world.
Joanne was, above
all, a loving mother, sister, grandmother, partner, aunt and
friend and is survived by her devoted sons Jeff and David,
three beautiful grandchildren and loving partner Larry
Brown.

2012. She will be missed so much.
