4 2008: FAO survey on foods for biodiversity among ASEAN region 4 sources of data -ASEAN FCTs - National FCTs - Publications: local journals, reports - Unpublished data, e.g., Thesis about 120 food items were reported to FAO

5 Research projects and activities on biodiversity, food composition and Sustainable diets in ASEANFOODS Objective To compile research & activities concerning with food biodiversity, food composition and sustainable diets in ASEAN region Methodology Questionnaire survey and verbal communication (Thailand) Content: project title, objectives, duration, activities and outcome

6 Content in the questionnaire Title of project, objective, duration and outcome Activities involved: - Survey of food biodiversity - Food composition analysis Food groups Number of food items in each food group Nutrients and/or bioactive compounds included in the FCD Sources of data analysed or compiled or borrowed Output on FCD (e.g., scientific paper, report, book, food composition database, website) - Intervention programme The use of FCD

7 Indonesia: by Dr. Komari Nutrition and Food Research and Development Centre, University of Djuanda, Bogor, Indonesia Research and development to establish a food composition table of indigenous foods and traditional products began after 2001 It includes main nutrients, vitamins and minerals, fatty acids, and bioactive compounds The FCTs of the indigenous foods will be published in The food composition data will be used for - food consumption surveys - formulation of diets for specific risk communities - dissemination for potential use in regional programme

8 Malaysia: by Dr. Amin Ismail, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia. 2009: Antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content in Malaysian under-utilised fruits 58 under-utilised fruits (21 genera, 32 different species,) were analysed for antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents Journal of Food Composition and Analysis (2009) 22: : A review on under-utilised tropical fruits in Malaysia Reviewing under-utilised tropical fruits: found about 100 varieties 1) species with potential for commercial development (41 varieties) 2) species with potential for home-grown uses (37 varieties) 3) species which seasonal availability and commonly grown wildly, potential for economic uses (13 varieties) Guangxi Agricultural Sciences (2010) 41:

9 Malaysia (continued) : Carotenoids and antioxidant capacities of local fruits bambangan (Mangifera pajang) and dabai (Canarium odontophyllum Miq. ) - were studied. Molecules 15 (2010), (Bambangan) Food Chemistry 124 (2011), (Dabai)

10 Philippines: by Ms Ennata M. Avena Department of Science and Technology, Food and Nutrition Research Institute. the Philippines May 2010 June 2011 Title: Nutritive Values of Selected Philippine Vegetables Objectives: to generate food composition data of well described Philippine vegetables especially the indigenous varieties - 12 indigenous vegetables were analysed for 18 nutrients, in duplicate. Main nutrients (including total dietary fiber), reducing sugar, minerals (calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, zinc, iodine) and vitamins (beta-carotene, vit. C) - borrowed data may be included, which may include other water soluble vitamins (folate, niacin, thiamin and riboflavin) Outcome: 1. Handbook on the nutritive values of vegetables: designed for users like teachers, mothers and health and nutrition extension workers at the grass root level. The handbook will be available in the 2 nd quarter of Scientific Paper probably in the 3 rd quarter of 2011

11 Philippines: by Ms. Ennata M. Avena (continued) Uses of the handbook of nutritive values of vegetables: 1. Create an awareness of the food values of vegetables, especially of the locally available indigenous varieties. 2. Promote and increase production of indigenous vegetables, especially in the rural level. 3. Encourage the development of local food products/ recipes for the development of sustainable diets utilising indigenous vegetables; 4. Promote consumption of indigenous vegetables as cheap and sustainable sources of nutrients for wellbeing.

12 Singapore: Meng Thiam Lim Health Promotion Broad, Singapore National FCD is available: analysed, borrowed and calculated data No specific activities related to food biodiversity and sustainable diets

13 Thailand: 2 institutes 1. Research Institute for Health Sciences, Chiang Mai University, by Dr. Sakda Pruenglampoo 2. Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University (INMU): two interdisciplinary projects Kanchanaburi province 2.1 Ms. Sinee Chotiboriboon 2.2 Dr. Kunchit Judprasong

14 Thailand: 1. Two projects in the North of Thailand reported by Dr. Sakda Pruenglampoo : Nutritive values of fermented soybeans in the North of Thailand Objective: to investigate the nutritive values of raw and fermented soybean collected from 8 provinces in upper northern of Thailand. Analysis: proximate composition (total protein, total fat, carbohydrate, energy, moisture, ash), some minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc and iron) and isoflavones (genistein and daizein) Outcome: - Report - Food composition database

15 Report (continued): Sakda Pruenglampoo, : Nutritive values of traditional foods from northern Thailand Objectives: to analyse nutritive values of 10 dishes of popular northern traditional Thai foods (indicator of sustainable diets?) Nutrients included: main nutrients (moisture, total protein, total fat, carbohydrate, ash, including sugars), sodium, calcium and iron Outcome: Report Food composition database

16 Commercialised traditional foods from northern Thailand Sustainable diets?

17 2. Two interdisciplinary projects: Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol U. 1) A culture-based Intervention programme for promoting biodiversity and sustainable diet in a Karen community: Sinee Chotiboriboon 2) Conservation and utilisation of indigenous foods: Kunchit Judprasong Project: Plant Genetic Conservation, initiated by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. Kanchanaburi province Diagramme of intervention activities in Karen community Poster presentation

18 1) A culture-based Intervention programme for promoting biodiversity and sustainable diet in a Karen community, reported by Sinee Chotiboriboon Interdisciplinary project using culture based approach Objectives: to increase availability of local nutritious foods to promote healthy cooking practices to conduct nutrition education to promote consumption of Karen nutritious foods Activities related to food composition Knowing Karen foods and their values - Survey of food diversity in Karen community - Analysis of selective food items which are expected to be potential sources of nutrients - Generation of Karen food database

19 Sinee Chotiboriboon (continued) Outcome: 1. A list of 387 foods available in the Karen community - cereals, roots, tubers, nuts: 52 items - vegetables; 206 items - fruits: 63 items - animals: 66 items 2.

22 3. Dr. Kunchit Judprasong (continued) Outcome: Food composition database: - Fish: main nutrients, minerals, cholesterol, fatty acids - Vegetables: bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity Used of FCD: - Identify nutritious foods to be promoted for consumption in the community - Baseline information for future research in food species conservation to increase availability and sustainability of diets

23 Research projects and activities on biodiversity, food composition and sustainable diets in ASEANFOODS Conclusion Research and programme on food composition in relation to food biodiversity and sustainable diets in ASEAN have just started less than 10 years ago. There are activities going on in certain countries with a few reports The basic research contributes information on nutritive values of foods for general purposes whereas the interdisciplinary research develops food composition data for specific purposes (promoting availability, accessibility and consumption of diverse varieties of nutritious foods) What should be done in the future? - Collaboration among ASEAN researchers: update the status, share experience and information, strengthening resources and activities - Organising ASEANFOODS workshop: address on suitable approach and methodology for conducting a research on biodiversity for sustainable diets - Developing/sharing/harmonising a guideline or manual to direct effective research and activity
