The// amino acid profile of each food is expressed as g/100 g protein.nutrients('what is soluble oxalate?');nutrients('are organic acids useful?');// Organic acids is naturally present in a wide variety of foods especially fruits,// berries and vegetables. Organic acids cis-aconitic acid, citric acid, fumaric// acid, mallic acid, quinic acid, succinic acid and tartaric acid were determined// in single liquid chromatographic run. Soluble, insoluble and total oxalates were// determined separately by HPLC method. The organic acids are energy contributing// components, although it varies between the different organic acids. According to// the Codex Alimentarius Commission’s Guidelines for Nutrition Labeling, the energy// conversion factor for organic acids is 13 kJ/g. However, organic acids have not// been included in the total energy of foods given in the IFCT.
