The nutritional quality of mushroom protein varies and is strongly affected by the relative proportion of each amino acid. Thus, the purpose of this study was to estimate the concentration of the amino acids present in mushroom proteins in order to evaluate the protein nutritional value. In this investigation fifteen field-collected mushroom samples of the Boletaceae family from various parts of Macedonia were included. After acid hydrolysis and pre-column derivatisation with phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC) determination of seventeen amino acids was carried out by the HPLC method. Tryptophan was determined spectophotometrically in the alkaline hydrolysates. The dietary protein quality of the investigated mushrooms was evaluated by comparison of the essential amino acid content with the reference FAO/WHO pattern. Essential amino acids made up 47-75 % of all determined amino acids depending on the origin and the species of the fruit body. Lysine was the most often found limiting amino acid in the investigated mushrooms samples. The nutritional value of proteins calculated by biological value, protein ratio, chemical score and essential amino acid index was very high in the majority of mushrooms studied. The biological value of the mushroom protein varied from 51.3 to 78.9 %. Protein amino acids accounted for about 66.7 % of the total nitrogen, suggesting that a practical nitrogen to protein conversion factor for this Macedonian edible Boletaceae mushroom may be considered to be about 4.17 on average.

SummaryBody-weight gain, protein efficiency ratio (PER), standardized protein efficiency ratio (Std PER) and gross protein value (GPV, GPV1 and GPV2) bioassays were compared with nitrogen incorporation efficiency (NTE) for their accuracy and precision to determine protein quality of fish meal (FM), groundnut cake (GN), mustard cake (MS) and cottonseed cake (CS) for poultry. Results showed that all the bioassays were significantly (P < 0·05) correlated with NIE and were equally effective in ranking the samples of FM, GN, MS and CS according to their protein quality although body-weight gain procedure was less sensitive.

Abstract Several diets considered to be marginally deficient in threonine were fed to young male rats at protein levels ranging from 3 to 9%. Protein sources included lactalbumin (reference standard), soy protein with added methionine, pea protein with added methionine, rice-casein, and peanut-sesame-fish. Chemical scores and plasma amino acid scores indicated that these diets were limiting in threonine at the 3–4% protein level; increased growth resulted from supplementation with threonine. After threonine supplementation, all protein sources except pea were limiting in lysine. Increased growth at low protein levels with little or no extra growth at high protein levels due to threonine supplementation resulted in decreased slopes in the relative protein value (RPV) assay. Consequently, threonine supplementation apparently decreased RPV values for these samples but the protein efficiency ratio was not affected. It was concluded that the RPV assay underestimates the protein quality of lysine-deficient proteins.

Cadaba farinosa Forssk is a wild shrub whose seeds are eaten as a famine food in North Eastern Nigeria when there is poor harvest of conventional crops. This research was carried out in order to evaluate the protein quality of the seeds and to carry out the growth performance of experimental animals fed on seeds processed by different methods. The processed methods include cooking, cooking with the addition of potash, fermentation and sprouting. PTH-Amino acid analyzer was used to determine the amino acid profile and milk reference protein was used for scoring the essential amino acids. The products were fed to weaning albino rats for 28 days growth performance studies. The determination of nitrogen content of the feed, faeces, urine and the carcass of the animals were carried out by Kjeldahl method. Protein quality evaluation of the processed products was carried out by calculating the Biological Value (BV), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), Net Protein Utilization (NPU) and The Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acids Score (PDCAAS). Results of Amino acid analysis showed that the sample cooked with addition of potash contain higher levels of amino acids. Glutamic acid was found to the most abundant amino acid with a value of 11.96 g/ 100 g and 13.96 g/ 100 g in the sprouted and raw seeds respectively. Chemical score of amino acids revealed higher score for protein of seeds cooked with addition of potash except tryptophan which was 219.29% for seeds cooked without potash. The highest PDCAAS (49.84%) was found in the diet cooked with potash, however, it showed lower biological value (95%) and protein efficiency ratio (0.32). The group fed with sprouted diet showed significant increase (P=.05) in body weight (52.13%). Though cooking with addition of potash showed higher distribution of amino acids, but sprouting and fermentation were more promising in terms of promoting the growth of the experimental animals.

Ensiled fish was prepared from a local variety of freshwater fish (Barbus carnaticus) by fermentation with a pure culture of Streptococcus lactis, commercial lactose being used as a source of fermentable carbohydrate. The fermented material (pH 4.7) was roller dried. The finished product was cream colored and had a somewhat aromatic odor. It had a protein content of about 72%. Total lysine, available lysine, methionine, cystine, and tryptophan of the ensiled fish (expressed as g/16 g N) were 10.1, 8.1, 3.6, 1.1, and 1.2%, respectively. Hygienically, the product, being free from coliforms, enterococci, Salmonella, coagulase-positive staphylococci, and pathogenic anaerobes, was satisfactory. The biological value of the product as determined by protein efficiency ratio (3.3), net protein utilization (82.3%), and net protein ratio (4.2) was not significantly different from that of skim milk powder, which has a protein efficiency ratio of 3.2, net protein utilization of 82.8%, and net protein ratio of 4.9.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the protein quality and iron bioavailability of a fortifying mixture based on pork liver. Methods Determinations of protein efficiency ratio, net protein utilization, true digestibility and hemoglobin regeneration efficiency by depletion and repletion were performed. In the depletion phase, the animals (male Wistar rats) received an iron-free AIN–93G diet and in the repletion phase they received the following diets: standard AIN–93G diet, fortifying mixture and standard diet containing heptahydrated ferrous sulfate for comparison. Results For standard AIN–93G diet and fortifying mixture the results were 3.75 and 4.04 for protein efficiency ratio and 3.53 and 3.63 for net protein retention, showing that the presence of pork liver in the diet promoted an increase in protein efficiency ratio and net protein retention (not statistically significant). True digestibility results obtained with the fortifying mixture (97.16%) were higher than those obtained with the standard AIN–93G diet (casein), but without significant difference. The hemoglobin regeneration efficiency values obtained for standard AIN–93G diet, fortifying mixture and standard diet containing heptahydrated ferrous sulfate were 50.69, 31.96 and 29.96%, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference between the control (standard AIN–93G diet) and test (fortifying mixture and standard diet containing heptahydrated ferrous sulfate) samples, but not between the test samples. Conclusion The fortifying mixture showed a high protein efficiency ratio value of 4.04 and a high relative biological value (108%) and it can be added to soups, creams and meats in day-care centers for the prevention of iron-deficiency in children of school age.

Effect of domestic processing techniques i.e. soaking, sprouting and cooking was seen on the anti nutrient constituents of kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Biological protein quality of sprouted and cooked grains was also estimated. Anti nutrient analyzed was phytic acid. Phytate phosphorus and non phytate phosphorus content was also estimated. Rats were fed on domestically processed kidney beans for estimation of protein efficiency ratio(PER), food efficiency ratio(FER) ,apparent protein digestibility(APD), true protein digestibility(TPD), Biological value(BV), net protein utilization(NPU) and net protein retention (NPR). Cooking of kidney beans resulted in a significant decrease in phytic acid and phytate phosphorus content as compared to sprouting. Sprouting and cooking resulted in an increase in FER and PER. Cooking resulted in an increase in biological protein quality of kidney beans. Domestically processed kidney beans have better biological protein quality.
