Resumo(s)

The European Food Information Resource (EUROFIR) is a network of national Food Composition Databank (nFCDB) compilers that aims to develop, manage and publish food composition data and promote international cooperation and harmonization through improved data quality, database search ability and standards. The aim of this work is to study the role of metrology in harmonization of nFCDB. The criteria for use of nFCDBs to assist measurement processes in dietary assessment, epidemiology, food processing and food technology are described in relation to the EuroFIR quality management framework. The use of SI units of Modes of expressions and Reference Materials are the most important metrological tools to improve the quality of data in nFCDBs.
