Development of a trial Food Composition Database System has been put into practice by JST using the Special Coordination Funds for Promoting Science and Technology for 3 years from 1994 to 1996. It includes not only character data from Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan, 4th revised edition and follow-up tables and food sampling data but also food picture data which are produced by scanning and digitizing. We can use this database by client-server-based-system. In this paper, we introduce this system mainly on user-interface.
