ATE	alpha-tcopherol equivalent		1 ATE = 1 mg RRR-alpha-tocopherol. <br>Sometimes quoted using the non-preferred name d-alpha-tocopherol<br>
BCE	beta-carotene equivalent		1 BCE = 1 ug all-trans beta-carotene<br>
BX	degrees Brix	Use only for the mass ratio of dissolved sucrose to water in a liquid expressed in degrees Brix (°Bx). When using this descriptor, the corresponding matrix unit is **.	The °Bx unit is widely used in the fruit juice and nectar production.<br><DICTION>Degrees Brix (°Bx) is measured with a saccharimeter that measures specific gravity of a liquid or more easily with a refractometer. A 25 °Bx solution is 25% (w/w), with 25 grams of sucrose sugar per 100 grams of liquid. Or, to put it another way, there are 25 grams of sucrose sugar and 75 grams of water in the 100 grams of solution [Wikipedia].<br>
g	gram		ISO 1000:1992
kcal	kilocalorie		
kg	kilogram		ISO 1000:1992
kJ	kilojoule		ISO 1000:1992
l	litre		Volume unit outside ISO 1000:1992, but recognized by CIPM as having to be retained because of its practical importance.<br>ISO prefixes (e.g. deci, centi, milli, micro, etc.) may be attached to the unit to form multiples.
mg	milligram		ISO 1000:1992
ml	millilitre		Multiple of volume unit, l (litre) outside ISO 1000:1992, but recognized by CIPM as having to be retained because of its practical importance.
mmol	millimole		ISO 1000:1992
MSE	monosaccharide equivalent		1 MSE = 1 g glucose
NE	niacin equivalent		
ng	nanogram		ISO 1000:1992
PCT	per cent	Never use for compositional values, which are always expressed as weight or volume unit per matrix unit, normally per 100g edible portion.<br>	Although most dimensionless properties are by preference expressed as a proportion (unit = &#39;R&#39;), some may be more normally expressed as a percentage (%).
R	ratio	Used for properties expressed as a proportion.  Any value expressed as a ratio will have matrix unit &#39;X&#39;, &#39;not applicable&#39;.	
RE	retinol equivalent	Use for Retinol Activity Equivalent.<br>The factors used to convert beta-carotene equivalents to retinol equivalents are recorded through the Method Indicator.<br>	1 RE = 1 ug all-trans retinol.
ug	microgram		ISO 1000:1992<br><br>The descriptor code &#39;ug&#39; is used in preferrence to the use of a Greek character, µ, which requires an extended character set.
ul	microlitre		ISO 1000:1992<br><br>The descriptor code &#39;ug&#39; is used in preferrence to the use of a Greek character, µ, which requires an extended character set.<br><br>
