Fruit and Nuts: Supplement to The Composition of Foods

by B Holland (Editor), Ian Unwin (Editor), David Buss (Editor)

Overview

Fruit and Nuts lists over 350 foods and extends both the foods and nutrients covered in The Composition of Foods 5th Edition. Data are included covering the wider variety of fruit and fruit-based foods now eaten. In particular information is now available for fruit canned in both syrup and juice, and more 'exotic' varieties such as kiwi fruit and pecan nuts, as well as more varieties of popular foods such as apples and pears. Supplementary tables are included for carotenoid fractions, vitamin E fractions, phytic acid and organic acids, as well as a listing of taxonomic and alternative food names.

Editorial Reviews

Contains detailed information on the nutritional value of a wide range of fruit, nuts, and seeds, complementing and greatly extending the information in the fifth edition of The composition of foods, which was published by the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1991. This book shows the nutrients in 289 fruits and fruit products and 51 nuts and seeds compared with 120 and 27 respectively in the fifth edition. It also gives information on a number of nutrients not included in the fifth edition, including individual sugars, more components of fiber, sulfur, carotenoid fractions, vitamin E fractions, phytic acid, and organic acids. Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
