Dear Penjani In the UK we analysed baked sweet potato including the skin in 2015.

So far in the Food Composition Tables where I have searched, I have not been able to find this (ie I've searched in West African, Swedish, Danish and USDA). In the USDA Tables there are values for Sweet potato, cooked, baked in skin, flesh, without salt - which I had understood as values of the sweet potato flesh only (after baking it with the skin on). Would anyone be aware of any information on this?

When you search for a certain food in the website, you need to select the options "Full report(all nutrients)" or "statistics report" to see all components available - once you select one of these you should see the amino acid profile. You will find this options right below the food description (you can check the figure attached to this message). I hope that this will be useful for you.

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]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>] Sent: 23 July 2018 12:12 To: Paula Dominguez-Salas <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>>; [log in to unmask]<mailto:[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™ 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?

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.
