1 Country specific food composition databases Balkan Countries Example Maria Glibetic Institute for Medical Research, Belgrade, Serbia GCRF Workshop on Production, Management and Use of Food Composition Data to support AFROFOODS Pretoria, South Africa, 5-9 February 2018

2 Background and history of Serbian FCDB History of Food Composition Tables in Serbia Books: Food composition table, Federal institute for statistics and evidence, Belgrade, II edition, 1954 (translation FAO food composition table) Brodarec A., Food composition table of food and drinks, III edition, PHI Croatia, Zagreb, 1976 Kaic - Rak A., Antonic K, Food composition of food and drinks, PHI Croatia, Zagreb, 1990 N. Jokic, M.Dimic, M. Pavlica: Food composition table, Kulinart, Belgrade, Serbia &Montenegro, 1999 First electronic version of the food composition table Software created by M. Gurinovic and A. Kadvan "Nutrition plan"- Software for planning individual and collective nutrition with nutrition recommendations, in 1997 and new versions in 2005, 2007 "NUTQ - Software for evaluation of the quality of family nutrition based on 7-day food record questionnaire (1995)

3 Serbian FCDB and EuroFIR EuroFIR FP6 - European Food Information Resource Network (NoE) IMR & NCDNCEE (UNU/SCN Network for CD in Nutrition in Central and Eastern Europe) - partners Identified FCDB status in CEE countries - lack of FCDBs and software for database management IMR created the tool Food Comp Data Management (FCDM) - web based software for developing new FCDB harmonized with EuroFIR technical annex, standards and recommendations Implemented the 1st online Serbian FCDB harmonized with EuroFIR recommendations EuroFIR Nexus FP7 EUROFIR-NEXUS - The EuroFIR Food Platform: Further integration, refinement and exploitation for its longterm self-sustainability - IMR & NCDNCEE & CAPNUTRA- partners Shaping and implementing Balkan Food Platform with Network for Capacity Development in Central & Eastern European Countries (CAPNUTRA) Improve and extend the existing Balkan Food Platform Develop 1st online Regional FCDB for West Balkan Countries (WBC) using FCDM software

4 First version of EuroFIR Serbian FCDB Serbian FCDB online in 2007 Software for nutritional planning was adapted and used Values: Analytical Label Calculated From other FCDB Literature Serbian FCDB (1143 food) coded in LanguaL TM with EuroFIR support

6 Creation of web-based application Food Composition Data Management (FCDM) FCDM developed according to EuroFIR Technical Annex and recommendation including: o o o o LanguaL coding EFSA FoodEx2 Recipes Multilingual Version 1: Developed and used for creation of the Serbian data base Version 2: Updated to enable use in more countries from CEE/BC Version 3 : EFSA food coding system- FoodEx2 Recipe input and nutrient calculation in export (retention and yield factors included) Link with DIET ASSESS &PLAN software 2013/14 Version 4: CHANCE food classification Direct calculation of nutrient values of composite dishes Glibetić, M., et al., Management of food composition database harmonized with EuroFIR criteria using a web application. Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 2010.

7 Food Composition Data Management (FCDM) software Each food is described with: Identifiers Standard and general description LANGUAL code Physical properties - e.g. edible portion Values- nutritional parameters, sample Quality assessments EFSA codes Glibetić, M., et al., Management of food composition database harmonized with EuroFIR criteria using a web application. Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, 2010.

8 Documenting the parameters according to EuroFIR TM classification FOOD identification - Name (original language) - Name (English) - Scientific food name - Food group - Origin (an.,veg.,min.) - Article number (EAN code) - Portion size - Color - Producer - Distributer METHOD Method type /analytical, calculated, estimated.../ - Method indicator - Method parameter - Official method name - Analytical key steps - /extraction,separation.../ - Laboratory performance /accuracy, precision,.../ VALUES -Selected value - measure unit - Matrix unit - Acquisition type /FCDB, laboratory (industy, independent...), food label, published scientific paper.../ - date of generation - date of evaluation - Value type /average, min.,max.,more than..., less than.., median, trace.../ REFERENCE FCDB - Book - Journal issue... /Title, authors, language, ISBN, edition date.../

9 Serbian FCDB in numbers No. of foods 1064 No. of recipes 130 No. of components 70 No. data values No. LanguaL codes Gurinović, M., et al, Establishment and advances in the online Serbian food and recipe data base harmonized with EuroFIRTM standards. Food Chemistry, 2016

10 EFSA FoodEx2 Within project Updated food composition database for nutrient intake in EFSA introduces FOODEx2 food coding system to provide harmonized categorization of foods for the purposes of consumption assessments on European level This system is integrated in software used to build Serbian food composition database All foods in the database are coded with appropriate code from FoodEx2

11 Composite dishes- nutrient calculation Information for each composite dish was compiled and includes: Composite dish name Original food code Recipe procedure Yield factor Reference for retention factors Portion size Quantity of each ingredient EFSA food code Automatic calculation of nutrient values 130 Serbian recipes!

12 Updated and adapted FCDM web application with EFSA codes (FoodEx2) -1st Online Serbian FCDB Developed during EuroFIR & EuroFIR-NEXUS projects implementing EU CEN standards Food Composition Data Management (FCDM) web application developed according to EuroFIR Technical Annex for FCDB creation, LanguaL coding, EFSA FoodEX2, Recipes, Multilingual Serbian FCDB 1046 foods and 129 traditional/common Serbian composite dishes -Serbian FCDB in EFSA project In 2012-IMR became a partner in EFSA project: Updated food composition database for nutrient intake Glibetić, M, et al., Management of food composition database harmonized with EuroFIR criteria using a web application.
