Dear Tayo Sorry, I forgot some links: For nutrients/recipe calculations, I have collected a long list of references in Compilers' Toolbox™ (under construction!, http://toolbox.foodcomp.info/ToolBox_RecipeCalculation.asp ) I also mentioned the term “processing factors” in connection with pesticides/contaminants. You may find some examples at the following sites RIVM (https://chemkap.rivm.nl/groente-fruit/processing-factors/) BfR compilation on processing factors for pesticide residues (http://www.bfr.bund.de/en/pesticides-579.html, factors in zip file http://www.bfr.bund.de/en/pesticides-579.html) All the best, Anders Anders Møller Danish Food Informatics Borgediget 12 DK-4000 Roskilde, Denmark Websites: Danish Food Informatics ( <http://www.danfood.info/> http://www.danfood.info) SciName Finder™ ( <http://www.sciname.info/> http://www.sciname.info) LanguaL™ ( <http://www.langual.org/> http://www.langual.org) From: Food Composition Discussion Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tayo Shokunbi Sent: 31 July 2014 08:40 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Which is the better option Dear Colleagues, In this era of limited resources for researches in the developing countries, what will be your advice to a scientist faced with the need to make a choice between analysis of RAW or PROCESSED foods? He needs the data obtained from the analysis for TOXICITY risk assessment as well as assessment of a populace for ADEQUACY of nutrient intakes.
