like to thank members of the INFOODS listserv for comments received on version 1.0, especially from Anders Moeller, and Suzanne Murphy and Connie Gewa for sharing density data collected in a Kenyan project. 3 Introduction FAO/INFOODS prepared this database to provide a tool for researchers and professionals to convert volume into weight and vice-versa. Data were collected from the literature, various national food composition tables and measurements conducted by the authors (see bibliography). Version 1.0 included density data for 214 food entries in 16 food groups from six sources and version 2.0 includes 638 foods entries in 20 food groups from 11 sources. For version 2, in addition to density data it was decided to also present data on specific gravity and to define the terms used. The data presented in this database are divided between density (including mass density and bulk density) and specific gravity. Like version 1.0, the data can be downloaded in Excel format from the INFOODS website. Table 1.

The mass density of a material varies with temperature and pressure. The variance is typically small for solids and liquids. Whenever information on temperature or pressure was available in the literature it was added to the reference. mass density = --------volume x Bulk density: Bulk density is a property of powders, granules and other solids, particularly used in reference to mineral components (soil, gravel), chemical substances, (pharmaceutical) ingredients, foodstuff or any other masses of corpuscular or particulate matter. It is defined as the mass of many particles of the material divided by the total volume they occupy. The total volume comprises particle volume, inter-particle void volume and internal pore volume. x Specific gravity: Specific gravity is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density (mass of the same unit volume) of a reference substance. In most of the cases the reference substance is water for liquids or air for gases. Specific gravity represents a ratio and is therefore dimensionless. The numerical values of density and specific gravity are the same if the measurement temperature of water is 4°C. At any other temperature the measures of density and specific gravity (with water being the reference component) will be slightly different. Precision of data is important, however as food intake data are estimates and not precise to the exact mL, it was decided to truncate calculated density and specific gravity data to two decimal numbers whereas data from the literature given in three decimal number were listed as such.
