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.

Dear Paula,
It seems like you have not looked well enough
J
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™ 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

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.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Paula
