Lack of food composition data, recipe information and portion sizes for ethnic foods are commonly reported problems for dietary assessment of ethnic minority groups. One of the main aims of this study was to use food composition data to validate portion sizes, identify important sources of nutrients and describe the characteristics of the South Asian diet. The top five ethnic foods containing highest levels of selected nutrients were lamb balti (3mg/100g iron), lamb kebab (3.2mg/100g zinc), mixed dhal (62μg/100g folate), fish curry (1.4μg/100g vitamin D), ghee (968μg/100g retinol) and toor dhal (9.1g/100g dietary fibre). Typical adult South Asian diets included traditional cereals (chapatti, rice and paratha) and low consumption of meat dishes; with vegetable curries contributing most towards energy intake. A higher consumption of full fat milk and fruit juices by toddlers and school children were observed when compared with the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of the UK.
缺乏民族食物的食物成分数据、食谱信息和份量是民族少数群体饮食评估中常见的问题。本研究的主要目的之一是使用食物成分数据来验证份量、确定重要营养物质的来源，并描述南亚饮食的特点。含有选定营养素含量最高的前五名民族食物分别是羊肉咖喱（每 100 克含铁 3 毫克）、羊肉烤肉串（每 100 克含锌 3.2 毫克）、混合豆（每 100 克含叶酸 62μg）、鱼咖喱（每 100 克含维生素 D1.4μg）、酥油（每 100 克含视黄醇 968μg）和豆（每 100 克含膳食纤维 9.1 克）。典型的成年南亚饮食包括传统谷物（chapatti、大米和 paratha）和肉类菜肴的低消费；蔬菜咖喱对能量摄入的贡献最大。与英国国家饮食和营养调查相比，幼儿和学童的全脂牛奶和果汁的摄入量更高。
