Dear all,
I am pleased to inform you that we have published another FAO/INFOODS database which we hope you will find useful (posted at http://www.fao.org/infoods/infoods/tables-and-databases/faoinfoods-databases/en/ ):

*       FAO/INFOODS Analytical Food Composition Database Version 1.0 (AnFooD1.0) (PDF<http://www.fao.org/docrep/017/ap796e/ap796e.pdf>) (Excel<http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/food_composition/documents/pdf/AnFooD1_0.xls>)
The FAO/INFOODS Analytical Food Composition Database is a global compendium of scrutinized analytical data (without any additional estimations, imputation or calculation of missing values) for commonly consumed foods. It allows food composition database compilers to easily retrieve analytical data of good quality and to incorporate them into their databases (by citing the source). It can also be helpful to assess other analytical data if they are within a reasonable range.

I would like to sincerely thank all those who contributed to it, especially Doris Rittenschober.

We would like to encourage researchers to share their analytical data with FAO/INFOODS so that they can widely be used. Please see the guidelines for submission of data at http://www.fao.org/infoods/infoods/tables-and-databases/faoinfoods-databases/en/ ). We are looking forward to receive your analytical data. Thank you in advance for considering to share them with FAO/INFOODS.
