FAO/INFOODS Food Composition Databases

  • FAO/INFOODS Density Database - Version 2 (PDF) (Excel)
  • FAO/INFOODS Density Database - Version 1 (PDF) (Excel)

FAO/INFOODS prepared this database to provide a tool for researchers and professionals to convert volume into weight and vice-versa. Data were collected from the literature, various national food composition tables and measurements conducted by the authors

 

  • FAO/INFOODS Food Composition Database for Biodiversity - Version 2.0 (BioFoodComp2.0) - (PDF) (Excel) 

The Biodiversity Database is a global repository of analytical data on food biodiversity of acceptable data quality. It is hoped that in the future, more and better data will be available in order to further develop the Biodiversity Database and provide this essential tool for the investigation and promotion of the sustainable use of food biodiversity and for mainstreaming food biodiversity into nutrition projects, programmes and interventions.

  • FAO/INFOODS Analytical Food Composition Database Version 1.0 (AnFooD1.0) (PDF) (Excel) 

The FAO/INFOODS Analytical Food Composition Database is a global compendium of scrutinized analytical data (without any additional estimations, imputation or calculation of missing values) for commonly consumed foods. It allows food composition database compilers to easily retrieve analytical data of good quality and to incorporate them into their databases (by citing the source). It can also be helpful to assess other analytical data if they are within a reasonable range.

  • Share your analytical data

FAO and INFOODS would highly appreciate if more researchers would share their analytical data (density or composition) with us so that they could be incorporated into the different FAO/INFOODS databases. We believe that shared data are useful for the global food composition community. If they would only be stored on a shelf, they are not really useful, and other will not know about them and will have to do the same analysis again, which again will cost a lot of funds and funds are scarce.
