The goal of this work was to evaluate changes in dietary fiber measured by the traditional enzymatic-gravimetric method (AOAC 991.43) and more recently accepted modified 2011.25), mono- disaccharides, starch as a function assessed ripeness controlled study single lot bananas at same stages from purchased retail stores, different suppliers. Sugars, starch, were analyzed lot, ripeness, samples ripeness. Mean (EG) ~2 g/100g not affected with (mEG) ~18 unripe fruit decreased 4-5 ripe overripe...
FoodData Central (FDC) is the center of USDA-based food-composition information web. It an integrated data system that presently provides-in 1 place-5 distinct types containing on food and nutrient profiles. Each type has a unique purpose. Two types-Foundation Foods (FF) Experimental (EF)-represent "a bridge to future" in composition. They provide metadata have never previously been available from database. The other 3 are well established familiar many users: Standard Reference (SR) Legacy,...
A dynamic US food supply and need for assessment of diet on health demands transparent, easily accessible information foods components related data production variability researchers, nutrition policymakers professionals, manufacturers. USDA is to develop an integrated system address these needs provide capacity higher resolution compositional analysis increase in available metadata. Create database with five unique types data: 1) Foundation Foods - nutrient values extensive underlying...
"A Partnership for Public Health: USDA Global Branded Food Products Database" is a public-private partnership between the US Department of Agriculture, Institute Advancement and Nutrition Sciences, GS1 US, 1WorldSync, Label Insight, University Maryland. The goal to improve public health sharing open data by expanding enhancing National Nutrient Database — now known as FoodData Central with nutrient composition ingredient information on branded private label foods better reflect food supply....
Dietary fiber has long been known to be an essential component of a healthy diet, and recent investigations into the gut microbiome-health paradigm have identified as prime determinant in this interaction. Further, is now impact microbiome structure-specific manner, conferring differential bioactivities these specific structures. However, current analytical methods for food carbohydrate analysis do not capture important structural information. To address need, we utilized rapid-throughput...
