Indian Food Composition Tables
Publisher: Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of
Recent studies of the relationship between diet and health have led to increased interest
in the range of biologically active constituents present in foods that accompany the nutrients.
This book not only provides data of regular nutrients in foods complete in all respect but also on
a whole range of bioactive substances. Vitamin D2 content in plant foods is presented here for
the first time in the world. The tables contain data on oligosaccharides, phytosterols, organic
acids and individual polyphenols. This book also embodies an exhaustive database on amino
acid and fatty acid profiles of various foods. The users of the FCT will vary greatly and the data
is expected to essentially benefit every national activity touching on human nutrition research,
policy and education in India.
