| < FACID > | fatty
acids, total Unit: g Comments: Two data items are required for tagname <FACID>: the total quantity of fatty acids and identification of the conversion factor used to calculate this value from the quantity of total fat. If the conversion factor was taken from a table in one of the sources identified by the keywords listed below, the keyword should be used during data interchange. Otherwise, the conversion factor can be explicitly stated within a secondary tagname. It is also acceptable to include both a keyword and the specific conversion factor in the data. Keywords: The available keywords for those tables that list the conversion factors for calculating total fatty acids from total fat are: MW McCance and Widdowson (10) USDA USDA Handbook No. 8 (12) The secondary tagname for identifying a specific fatty acid conversion factor is: <XFA> conversion factor for calculating total fatty acids from total fat |
