The CFAST Seafood Compositional Database is on-line. This database contains over 3500 records of a wide variety of seafoods. Entries are entered by common name, latin name and preparation. Information on the vitamin, macro- and micro-elements, cholesterol, fatty acids, amino acids and proximate composition are provided. Not all this information is available for each entry but some information is available for each.
Currently, the database can be searched by common name, latin name and/or preparation method. A more flexible database search is planned for the near future that will allow users to search for a range of values for each and every entry in the database such as cholesterol, for example.
The CFAST Seafood Reference Database: This database catalogs published research in the area of seafood quality and safety, and is meant to be used by researchers, students, and businesses. Titles, authors, sources as well as a unique reference number system are included in the database of over 8500 entries. You no longer need Microsoft Access to use the database.
