Prapasri Puwastien, Barbara Burlingame, Monthip Raroengwichit, Pongtorn Singpuag
The ASEAN FCTs include food composition database of the common food items (fresh, cooked and processed) from 6 ASEAN countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. They were systematically compiled by the ASEANFOODS technical coordinators and compilers, together with the experts from INFOODS.

The ASEAN Food composition tables is published by the Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University (INMU). It contains data of 21 components of 1740 food items, divided into 17 food groups. Since the data are all actual analysed data, there are some missing nutrient data for some food items. We did not intend to fill them with any borrowed or estimated data in this first version.

Background on the development of ASEAN FCTs, systematic development and information to the users are provided in the front part of the book. Lists of food name index of each country in their local language, a list of scientific names and summary of the analytical methods used among laboratories in ASEAN are provided in the appendices.
