Dear Anders, Thanks for the feedback. That's what I thought and my first bet was UK (McC&W) and USDA databases, because I remembered to have seen it there. But the UK Excel file I just downloaded from the internet had all fatty acids, but I could see no amino acids in there, and the USDA search took me to a new interface of food searching, in which essential amino-acids definitely did not come up. Maybe the interface I remember is still there, and still has the information....I had only found the Japanese one... Had not searched, Danish, Swedish and Australian, thanks, will do! I am particularly looking at animal-source foods, and particularly in low and middle income countries, which was where I searched mostly, before I started with UK, US, Netherlands, France, Spain, etc. P From: Anders Møller [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 23 July 2018 12:12 To: Paula Dominguez-Salas <[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: Essential amino acids Dear Paula, It seems like you have not looked well enough :) Many food composition datasets/databases carry information on amino acid content of foods! To name just a few food composition tables/datasets/databases, take a look at the Australian NUTTAB dataset, the USDA database, the old British tables (e.g. First Supplement of McC&W), the Danish database, the Swedish, the Japanese .... You may use the links from the INFOODS page (http://www.fao.org/infoods/infoods/tables-and-databases/en/) or the LanguaL(tm) page (http://www.langual.org/langual_linkcategory.asp?CategoryID=4&Category=Food+Composition) to get to the food composition sites. Are you looking for the amino acid profiles in any specific foods? All the best, Anders Anders Møller Borgediget 12 DK-4000 Roskilde, Denmark From: Food Composition Discussion Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Paula Dominguez-Salas Sent: Monday, July 23, 2018 11:42 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Essential amino acids Dear all, I hope you are good. One question on essential amino-acids: what FCT compile at present information on the different amino-acids? I have found some old FAO tables (Ruth, I think FAO was putting together new information considering essential amino-acids, has it happened yet?) but I wonder whether some other specific tables contain this information... Not the ones I have looked at so far, so I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the best sources for this.
