Table de composition des aliments d´Afrique de l'Ouest
This edition of the West African Food Composition Table is a revised version of the Food composition table `Composition of Selected foods from West Africa`, which was published in September 2010 (<a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i1755e.pdf"> http://www.fao.org/3/a-i1755e.pdf </a>). It extends and updates the number of foods and values of components through data derived from the Mali Food Composition Table 2004, Nigeria, as well as analytical data from scientific articles. The foods represent aver age values of the collected compositional data from 9 countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal). Data sources included scientific papers, theses, university reports, as well as food composition databases. These data were supplemented by other sources of food composition data (mostly from outside Africa) to complete the missing values, especially minerals and vitamins. It was intended to have no missing values but for some vitamins, especially vitami n A and E, data were not available and no sources were found from which to derive reliable data. In these cases, they were left blank.
