The Slovak national food composition database: New management system DaRiS

Detection of Irradiated Food and Evaluation of the Given Dose by Electron Spin Resonance, Thermoluminescence, and Gas Chromatographic/Mass Spectrometric Analysis

“…This compliance can be realized by direct quantitative comparison of the sample under study with its etalon (if it is), or with a cloud etalon database via remote access by cell phone. A database for foodstuffs has already been created (Porubská et al, 2014). Our study demonstrated encouraging conformity of our calculated parameters (SIs) with wine composition.…”

Food Composition Database in Macedonia- Need and Importance

“…FAO and INFOODS decided in 2006 to develop a distance-learning tool because no comprehensive distance, e-learning or on-line training was publicly available covering all aspects of food composition, and because the demand for well-trained professionals in food composition by far exceeds the supply through the existing lecture-based postgraduate training courses. Within the European Food Information Resource project ''Network of Excellence'' (EuroFIR NOE, 2005-2010) complex set of rules, guidelines, and recommendations, such as requirements for FCDBs, a system of controlled vocabularies (thesauri) for FCD description and identification, standard operating procedures for data compilation, quality framework for analytical laboratories and FCDBs, communication tools and centralized web platforms for FCD, have already been created (Porubska, 2014). Books were published in the areas of nomenclature and food descriptions to facilitate data interchange among member countries.…”

“…Food composition databases (FCDBs) play an important role in various professional domains including food labelling, dietary guidelines, assessment of nutrient intake, formation of specific diet models, epidemiological studies, consumer choices, identifying allergens in restaurants, etc. (Porubska, 2014). Thus, high quality food composition data are fundamental to most issues related to nutrition and health and their importance is increasingly being recognized for agriculture, trade and economics.…”

Food composition data: can we take it for granted? : Quality considerations in the production and use of food composition data

“…Compiler peer reviews were organized as an achievable alternative to compiler certification and demonstrated that European food composition data compilers had made good use of EuroFIR guidelines and thesauri and were working towards improved harmonization of processes wherever possible (e.g. Biringen Loker et al, 2011;Black et al, 2011;Gurinović et al, 2016;Korošec et al, 2013;Martinez-Victoria et al, 2015;Oliveira et al, 2010;Porubská et al, 2014). Training and support was given to individual compilers by more experienced compilers via a series of workshops and online resources provided in the projects and continued by the EuroFIR Association.…”
