Abstract

Data on the composition of foods are essential for a diversity of purposes. It provides detailed sets of information on the nutritionally important components such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. In this talk, we will describe our approach to employ ontologies to identify food components in recipes described in natural language. By combining several public data sources, we link the food components to chemical compounds and their physiological and pathological effects.
