For example, for the cheese and crackers, for which we displayed a portion size of 30 and 25 g of cheese and crackers respectively, the cheese corresponded to 0.75 of the reference amount (40 g) and the crackers corresponded to 0.76 of the reference amount (33 g), so the total reference portion for this food was (0.75 + 0.76)/2, or 0.75.
Food and Drug Administration definitions say that to be a good source of a nutrient, the reference amount of a food must provide 10 to 19 percent of the daily value.
On average, participants rated the number of portions displayed as less than the reference number of portions in 19 out of 24 foods that were presented in larger portions (>1 reference amount), while they rated the number of portions as more than (8 foods) or equal to (1 food) the reference amount in all the 9 foods that were presented as less or equal to 1 reference portion.
We measured intensities from these gels using both 10 s and 20 s exposure times, giving a total of six replicate measurements of the reference amounts and the eight strains.
I strongly support the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) proposal to revise the Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACCs) for certain food and beverage products.

Under the law, FDA is required to define the reference amounts for foods based on the amount of food customarily consumed.
The absolute difference in stage I between the youngest and the reference groups amounted to nearly 8%, with a 90% 5-year survival in women aged 20 34.
For each experimental sample, the amount of target and endogenous reference were determined from the respective standard curves, and then the target amount was divided by the endogenous reference amount to obtain a normalized target value.
