a These following conversion factors may be used for vitamin A:
01 mcg of vitamin A or retinol = 01 retinol equivalent (RE)
01 IU (International unit) is equivalent to 0.3 mcg of vitamin A
01 mcg of b-carotene = 0.167 mcg of vitamin A
01 mcg of other carotenes = 0.084 mcg of vitamin A
b Excluding the loss during processing and cooking activities because Vitamin C is destroyed easily by the oxidization, light, alkali and temperature.
c These following conversion factors may be used for vitamin D:
01 IU is equivalent to 0.03 mcg of vitamin D3, or 01 mcg of vitamin D3 = 40 IU
d IU conversion factors (according to IOM-FNB 2000): 01 mg a-tocopherol = 1 IU; 01 mg b-tocopherol = 0,5 IU; 01 mg g-tocopherol = 0,1 IU; 0,1 mg s-tocopherol = 0,02 IU.
e Niacin or Niacin equivalent
f These following conversion factors may be used for Folic acid:
01 folic acid = 1 folate x 1.7, or 01 g of folic acid equivalent = 01 g of folate in food + (1.7 x amount of synthetic folic acid (in gram)).
Note: This table will be updated according to current regulations of the Ministry of Health of Vietnam.
