    The FAO/INFOODS Analytical Food Composition Database (AnFood) 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. The Pdf file represents the user guide and the Excel file contains the related data.

    FAO/INFOODS Food Composition Database for Biodiversity Version 2.1 - BioFoodComp2.1 2013
    Also available in:
    The FAO/INFOODS Food Composition Database for Biodiversity (BioFoodComp) is the first global repository of solely analytical data on food biodiversity and represents the equivalent of an archival database, which means that no values have been calculated or estimated to complete the compositional profile for a food entry. The included data need to meet the criteria for biodiverse foods and a minimum of predefined quality criteria.Since 2010, compositional data for 6492 foods and 466 compo nents were collected and compiled into the BioFoodComp mainly by FAO interns, volunteers and consultants. The compositional data are exclusively analytical data from primary sources, e.g. as published in the scientific literature, reports or dissertations, or as received from the INFOODS network.The database is an archival collection of available analytical data of sufficient quality. It holds data of different edible parts of the same plant/animal food; different maturity stages; raw and processed food (cooked, preserved), but no recipes (composite foods).

    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.
