Tagnames for Food Components

This list of INFOODS Food Component Tagnames has been prepared from John C. Klensin, Diane Feskanich, Victor Lin, A. Stewart Truswell, David A. T. Southgate, Identification of Food Components for INFOODS Data Interchange, Tokyo: United Nations University, 1989, with updates through June 2007.

The list will be periodically updated as new tags are assigned or definitions are clarified.

These are the "food component" tags, occurring as immediate subsidiaries of the element.

AAA ..... ENER- ( aromatic amino acids to energy)

ERGCAL... FATRN ( ergocalciferol to trans fatty acids)

FD ........PRO ( fluoride to proline)

PROA ......ZN ( total protein to zinc)

AAAN .... VALP (Derived food components)

Some recently added tagnames (April 2005) will be integrated into the list. Comments are still welcome.
