Dear Yasmine,

I have a copy of the documentation for Worldfood v 2 and will email it to you if you would find it useful. (I haven’t used the program—one of those things one downloads with the intention of looking at it “sometime” J.

Returning to your original question, if you have electronic copies of the databases you mention there may be existing software programs into which they be loaded—although I suspect you would have to do considerable work upfront to format the data appropriately, not to mention QA once uploaded.

Best regards,

Barbara

Dear Yasmine,

 

I just found that the WorldFood Dietary Assessment System 2.0 is still available (by mistake?) at the FAO website but the documentation is not!

See http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/food_composition/documents/WORLDFOOD_DIETARY_ASSESSMENT_SYSTEM__2_.pdf

 

It is a DOS-based software from 1996/1997 and therefore a bit outdated, but it still runs on my computer, though.

I suggest that you still contact Dr. Suzanne Murphy for information on the software and if a newer version is available.

 

Best regards,

Anders

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can advise me of any nutrient analysis software packages containing food composition databases for

·         China

·         Thailand

·         Korea

·         India

·         Middle East region

I have already investigated those listed on the INFOODS website.

Thank you in advance or your time.

Regards
