Composition of Foods: Cereal Grains and Pasta, Raw, Processed, Prepared

摘要

The report is number 20 in a series of 22 publications designed to revise and expand the food composition tables published in the 1963 edition of Agriculture Handbook No. 8, 'Composition of Foods...Raw, Processed, Prepared.' The section was prepared to serve as a basic reference for data on the nutrients in cereal grains and pasta. The table was prepared with computer assistance, using the facilities of the Nutrient Data Bank. Nutrient data are presented for cereal grains; for various forms of flour, meal, bran, and germ, and for pasta products. The 90 cereal grain and pasta items in the 1963 edition of the handbook have been expanded to 118 in the revision. Several items included in the 1963 edition of the handbook were omitted because they are no longer commercially available.
