在为阿拉伯联合酋长国阿布扎比(阿联酋)的食物消费调查做准备时，食物图谱被认为是量化食物份量的必要但缺乏的工具。编制了一份摄影食品地图集，其中包括总共115种常用食品，包括传统的中东和阿联酋食品(即兔肉、臭肉、塔布勒)。在这115种食物中，82种被表示为一系列8张增加份量的照片。其他33种形状或大小不规则的食物以照片的形式展示，展示了市场上这种食物的一系列大小。2014年，《食物地图集》分成两本出版：(1)阿布扎比食物部分图集；(2)《用户指南》(可在www.adfca.ae/english/mediacenter/publications/documents/atlas_en.pdf).查阅食品地图集将成为阿联酋、广大中东地区和任何有中东食品消费的国家进行食品消费调查的宝贵资源。此外，对分量大小的估计将有助于量化食物摄入量，这对评估食品安全和食品安全很重要，而这两者在阿联酋都是高度优先事项。(C)2015 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
In preparation for a food consumption survey in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), a food atlas was identified as a necessary but absent tool for the quantification of food portion sizes. A photographic food atlas was developed that included a total of 115 commonly consumed foods, including traditional Middle Eastern and UAE foods (i.e. harees, foul, tabouleh). Of these 115 foods, 82 were represented as a series of 8 photographs of increasing portion size. The other 33 foods, which were irregular in shape or size, were presented as photographs that displayed a range of sizes available for that food on the market. In 2014, the food atlas was published in two booklets; (1) A Photographic Atlas of Food Portions for Abu Dhabi; (2) A User's Guide (available at www.adfca.ae/english/mediacenter/publications/documents/atlas_en.pdf). The food atlas will be a valuable resource for food consumption surveys in the UAE, the wider Middle East region and in any country where there is consumption of Middle Eastern foods. In addition, the estimation of portion sizes will facilitate the quantification of food intake and this is important for the assessment of food safety and food security, both of which are high priorities in the UAE.
