食品成分資料庫旨在提供有關食品成分全面且具有代表性的訊息，這些資料對流行病學研究、公共衛生、營養教育與預防、食品安全、農業、食品標示和食品工業等領域都至關重要，攸關國家膳食營養政策訂定，以期達到保護國人健康，提高國家競爭力的最終目標。「臺灣食品成分資料庫」於80年開始，由前行政院衛生署（現已改制為衛生福利部）與行政院農業委員會跨部會合作建置，從以書本資料庫、光碟資料，發展至現在採網路資料庫。在不斷的增修迄今，目前涵蓋國內民眾可取得之18大類食品，總共達2120筆樣品之食品成分資料，包括一般成分、礦物質、脂溶性維生素、水溶性維生素、脂肪酸組成、胺基酸組成及膽固醇等已達102項營養素資訊。本文彙整30年來「臺灣食品成分資料庫」之建置歷程、架構及各層面應用，並勾勒未來藍圖期盼引領下一個30年。

The food composition database aims to provide comprehensive and representative information about food components, which are vital to epidemiological research, public health, nutrition education and prevention, food safety, agriculture, food labeling, and food industry. It is also critical for the formulation of the national dietary and nutrition policy in order to achieve the ultimate goal of protecting the health of people and improving the national competitiveness. Beginning in 1991, the 'food composition database in Taiwan' was established under the cooperation of the former Department of Health (now restructured into the Ministry of Health and Welfare) and the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, from a book database, a CD-ROM database, to a network database. Through continuous improvement, it currently covers 18 categories of 2,120 sample food ingredients available to the public, containing up to 102 nutritional ingredients, such as minerals, fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins, fatty acid composition, amino acid composition, cholesterol, etc.. In this report, the establishment history, structure, and application aspects of 'food composition database in Taiwan' over the past 30 years have been compiled. The blueprint for the future has also been drawn so we are looking to the next 30 years.
