In publishing and documentation, kandungan denotes the material covered or included, and is related to isi and daftar isi (table of contents). In formal writing such as reports and catalogs, kandungan often refers to the topics, sections, or components that make up a work.

In nutrition, kandungan gizi refers to the nutritional content of food, including energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugars, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Food labels in Indonesia and Malaysia commonly report kandungan gizi to inform consumers about the nutritional profile of a product.

In science and industry, kandungan describes the chemical composition or content of substances, such as kandungan air (moisture content), kandungan mineral, or kandungan kimia. It is often expressed as percentages, grams per unit, or other standardized measures.

In digital and media contexts, kandungan can refer to online content—text, images, video, and other material published on a website or platform. The term appears in formal discourse, including government manuals, educational resources, and regulatory documents, where precise description of what a resource contains is required.
