Field1:
NOTE:  The samples analyzed for this table were collected between


Field1:
1989 and 1993.  As the formulations for these products may have


Field1:
changed, caution should be exercised when using these values.

Prepared by:  Jacob Exler, Linda Lemar, and Julie Smith


Field1:
Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center


Field1:
This table provides analytical data on selected foods containing


Field1:
trans-fatty acids.  All of the data presented were obtained under


Field1:
USDA contract.  The samples were analyzed by capillary gas-liquid


Field1:
chromatography, and the studies were monitored for quality control.


Field1:
More detailed information on the analytical methodology and quality


Field1:
control can be obtained from the authors at the above address.


Field1:
Codes indicating the source of the data, descriptions of food


Field1:
items, and listings of the fat added as declared on the food labels


Field1:
are given in file below.  Codes for sources of data are


Field1:
given for each item.  Generic descriptions are provided for all food


Field1:
items reported.  The items are arranged by major food category that


Field1:
correspond to the sections of Agriculture Handbook No. 8.  A list


Field1:
of the categories is given below.  For a given food description,


Field1:
all items bearing the same alphabetic brand designation are the


Field1:
same brand name item. The letter "h" in the fat added field


Field1:
indicates that the fat was either hydrogenated or partially


Field1:
Major food categories (in alphabetical order)


Field1:
Nutrient values in file datafile.tfa are linked to food


Field1:
descriptions by unique item numbers.  The total fat is given


Field1:
as g/100 g of food.  The lipid conversion factor


Field1:
is a measure of the g total fatty acids/g total fat and is used to


Field1:
convert data on a methyl ester weight percent basis to a g/100 g


Field1:
fat basis.  Data for individual fatty acids, other fatty acids not


Field1:
listed individually, and fatty acid classes are all given as g/100


Field1:
g of food.  A separate column gives the total trans-fatty acid as


Field1:
a percent of total fatty acids.  A file, fields.tfa, giving the


Field1:
descriptions of the fields or column headings is also included.


Field1:
The designation for reporting fatty acids is in one of the


Field1:
18:1t  where the number before the colon indicates the number


Field1:
of carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain, the number after the


Field1:
colon indicates the number of double bonds, and the letter


Field1:
indicates whether the bond is cis or trans.


Field1:
18:2 n-6  where the number before the colon indicates the


Field1:
number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain, the number


Field1:
after the colon indicates the number of double bonds, and the


Field1:
n- number indicates the position of the first double bond


Field1:
counted from the methyl terminal end of the carbon chain.


Field1:
Fatty acid profiles of similar food items may vary considerably due


Field1:
to the type of fat added.  To provide maximum information to the


Field1:
user, data in this table are reported for individual items as


Field1:
analyzed rather than as aggregated among brands.  In a few cases


Field1:
where the same sample was analyzed more than once by the same


Field1:
source, the data were aggregated.  Data have not been, and should


Field1:
not be, linked to Nutrient Data Bank (NDB) numbers.
