28th National 
Nutrient Databank Conference


Conference Presentations

Approximately 150 people participated in the 28th National Nutrient Databank Conference and 37 shared their expertise through oral presentations augmented with PowerPoint Slide Shows.  By popular demand we are posting many of these PowerPoint Presentations for the use of attendees and others interested food composition data.  The presentations are divided into seven sessions:  Keynote; Functional Foods; Portion Sizes; Data Quality in Research; Agriculture, Public Health and Medical Practice; Database Management, New Data; and Dietary Supplements.  In addition, we have posted a compilation of candid shots taken by our conference photographer, Katie Tharp.  We hope these slide presentations will facilitate your work in the area of food composition and analysis.
