  • Updating the Souci-Fachmann-Kraut nutrient database (SFK)
  • Restructuring the SFK database management system
  • Adapting the SFK database web application
  • Launch and updating the Leibniz-LSB@TUM Odorant Database

The Souci-Fachmann-Kraut nutrient database currently contains > 30,000 data on 350 food ingredients in about 850 foods. However, nutrient data require continuous updating. Therefore, we regularly screen the primary scientific literature and extract relevant nutrient data. In addition, we adequately expand the data set, e.g., by inclucing bioactive compounds and alternative protein sources. To meet future requirements, the database management system has been completely restructured over the last two years and the database web application is currently being adapted. Thus, the nutrient database will continue to provide reliable and up-to-date data on food ingredients to consumers, scientists, the health care sector and the food industry.

For the launch of the Leibniz-LSB@TUM Odorant Database, we have transferred a collection of in-house data on substance parameters relevant for the structural assignment of odorants in food into an open access database. These data, e.g. on retention indices and odor qualities are continuously updated and expanded.
