HVN1927 Metadata Record - Pre-approved health and nutrition content claims for New Zealand macadamia nuts.

This metadata record and it's attached files make statements about the kinds of data collected as part of this research, and set out policies for governance of that data, now and in the future.

Description: Project to generate nutritional profiles for macadamia nuts and value-add products, and to determine any nutrient content and health claims possible.

Torere Macadamias, with Plant and Food Research, aimed to identify and verify the uniqueness and nutritional value of New Zealand-grown macadamias. This knowledge will provide a sound base to develop and validate innovative high-value products for future local and export markets.

Six varieties were chosen for analysis of their nutritional composition by Plant and Food Research. Nutritional results showed significantly higher concentrations of Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Selenium, manganese and magnesium than imported macadamias.
