Development of an Unified Food Composition Database for the European Project "Stance4Health". Nutrients. 2021 Nov 24;13(12):4206.http://hdl.handle.net/10668/4344The European Commission funded project Stance4Health (S4H) aims to develop a complete personalised nutrition service. In order to succeed, sources of information on nutritional composition and other characteristics of foods need to be as comprehensive as possible. Food composition tables or databases (FCT/FCDB) are the most commonly used tools for this purpose. The aim of this study is to describe the harmonisation efforts carried out to obtain the Stance4Health FCDB. A total of 10 FCT/FCDB were selected from different countries and organizations. Data were classified using FoodEx2 and INFOODS tagnames to harmonise the information. Hazard analysis and critical control points analysis was applied as the quality control method. Data were processed by spreadsheets and MySQL. S4H's FCDB is composed of 880 elements, including nutrients and bioactive compounds. A total of 2648 unified foods were used to complete the missing values of the national FCDB used. Recipes and dishes were estimated following EuroFIR standards via linked tables. S4H's FCDB will be part of the smartphone app developed in the framework of the Stance4Health European project, which will be used in different personalized nutrition intervention studies. S4H FCDB has great perspectives, being one of the most complete in terms of number of harmonized foods, nutrients and bioactive compounds included.enAtribución 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Food composition databaseFood standardizationFood dataNutrientsBioactive compoundsPublic healthPersonalized nutritionHazard analysis and critical control pointsDatabasesEuropeComposición de alimentosEstándares de referenciaNutrientesFitoquímicosAtención a la saludNutrición de precisiónAnálisis de peligros y puntos de control críticosBases de datos como asuntoEuropa (Continente)Medical Subject Headings::Information Science::Information Science::Information Storage and Retrieval::Databases as TopicMedical Subject Headings::Geographical Locations::Geographic Locations::EuropeMedical Subject Headings::Technology and Food and Beverages::Food and Beverages::FoodMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Food AnalysisMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Heterocyclic Compounds::PhytochemicalsMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Statistics as Topic::Models, Statistical::Proportional Hazards ModelsMedical Subject Headings::Technology and Food and Beverages::Technology, Industry, and Agriculture::Technology::Quality ControlMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Therapeutics::Nutrition TherapyMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Services Administration::Organization and Administration::Safety Management::Hazard Analysis and Critical Control PointsMedical Subject Headings::Information Science::Information Science::Computing Methodologies::Software::Mobile Applicationsresearch article34959759Acceso abierto10.3390/nu131242062072-6643PMC8704708
