Introduction

What is in this bibliography. This bibliography contains 283 citations for articles, conference papers, reports and book chapters published 2000 through July 2008. Cited works focus specifically on the nutrient content of organically produced foods: vitamin and mineral content, phytonutrients (phytochemicals), fatty acids and related chemical constituents. Each cited item relates directly to food produced from organic agricultural and/or handling practices.

All items cited in this bibliography were published in English; however, important work pertaining to this topic is being conducted internationally and reported on in many languages. This bibliography updates but does not duplicate AFSIC's 2000 Special Reference Brief 2000-03, Organically Produced Foods: Nutritive Content (216 citations, 1945-2000) available online at http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/pubs/srb0003.shtml.

The descriptive Keywords attached to each citation are terms taken primarily from the National Agricultural Library's Agricultural Thesaurus and Glossary (http://agclass.nal.usda.gov/agt/agt.shtml). They were selected on the basis of each cited author's article text and/or abstract. See the bibliography's Subject Index to find citations sorted by these Keywords.

The Subject Index is accompanied by an Author Index. Numbers listed after names and terms in the indexes refer to citation numbers in the text.

The majority of cited articles describe research results. Many (52) are overviews of literature and/or research (see “literature reviews” in the Subject Index to identify all such citations). 230 of the 283 cited articles discuss comparisons of organic foods with conventional foods at some level. These sources are noted in the citation and the Subject Index with the phrase, “comparative studies.”

Research on the nutritional qualities of organic food varies widely in focus, methodology, results and scientific validity. Although this bibliography, for the most part, is restricted to references from peer-reviewed sources, no attempt has been made by the bibliography author to judge the credibility of cited research. Evaluation in this regard is left to the reader.

What is not in this bibliography. There is a great deal of literature related to other aspects of organically produced foods. Except where they relate to the nutrient content of food, the following topics are NOT covered in this bibliography:

• Food sensory qualities – how food tastes
• Food appearance – physical/ cosmetic qualities
• Pesticide residues
• Antibiotic and hormone residues
• Economics – cost of organic food
• Consumer studies and preferences
• Environmental impacts of food production
• Geographic distribution issues, including “local food” topics

Research trends revealed in the literature. Interest in nutritional qualities of organic food has increased dramatically since the publication of the first AFSIC bibliography on the topic in 2000. It is evidenced in the sheer numbers of publications cited here.

Numbers by publication year (total=283):

• 2000-2001: 30
• 2002-2003: 46
• 2004-2005: 71
• 2006-2007: 116

Numbers by general commodity (total=283; some citations may refer to more than one commodity):

• Vegetables: 89/ 31%
• Fruit: 81/ 29%
• Dairy: 32/ 11%
• Meat: 28/ 10%

Numbers by top 5 research countries (total=283; affiliation of first author; foreign language publications are not included in this bibliography):

• United States: 51 (including 12 with USDA affiliation)/ 18%
• Italy: 27/ 9%
• United Kingdom: 22/ 8%
• Denmark: 21/ 7%
• Finland: 13/ 5%

Hot topics as reflected in the literature (total=283):

• Phytonutrient/ phytochemical content: 75/ 26%
• Fatty acid composition in animal products: 35/ 12%
• Post harvest/storage treatments as they affect nutritional qualities of organic foods: 29/ 10%
• Product authentication (laboratory testing of foods, plants and animals for identifiable “organic” traits): 15/ 5%
