Combined Food Table (v2.1)
Explore all unique food items from the Nitrate and Nitrite Database. Search, filter, and combine foods with harmonised names and categories.
Introduction
This combined table includes all unique food items from the Nitr-Navigator database. Plant foods follow harmonised naming rules as described in our 2022 Food Chemistry paper, while animal foods are grouped by processing and preservation methods (PMID: 34792849).
The search function supports wildcards (e.g., “lett” for lettuce), case-insensitive matching, and multiple search terms separated by semicolons.
