Introduction and application of newly appeared vitamin and minerals in "Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan (2010)" -General remarks-

Abstract

New food composition tables named "Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan (2010)" were published in 2010. In these tables, a water soluble vitamin, biotin, and four trace elements, chromium, molybdenum, selenium, and iodine were newly included. These data base gave us an opportunity to investigate the relationships between these nutrients and health and diseases. The author expects that an efficient use of this new device produces studies associated with the development of life sciences.
