    Mayonnaise and salad dressing are fast becoming popular condiments for Malaysian. The aim of this study was to
    obtain the nutritional composition of mayonnaise and salad dressing commercially available in the Malaysian market.
    The data will be used to update the Malaysian Food Composition Database which was last updated in 1997. A total of
    six brands from each type of mayonnaise and salad dressing were sampled from local supermarkets in the Klang Valley
    and analysed using standard methods. The validity of test data was monitored with the application of internal quality
    controls in line with the requirements of ISO 17025. The energy contents of mayonnaise and salad dressings were up to
    626.40 kcal/100 g. Our findings were also in agreement with the energy labelling on the packaging. Sodium was high in
    mayonnaise and salad dressing because it is used in the final mixture of both condiments to improve their characteristics
    for certain reasons. Mayonnaise and salad dressing have been identified as potent sources of vitamin A and vitamin
    E and both condiments were found to contain high levels of these antioxidants. It can be concluded that this study are
    useful not only in providing information on the nutritional content of several commercial types of mayonnaise and salad
    dressing, but also in improving the public understanding of healthy food choices.
