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.

The true digestibility coefficient, biological value, and net available protein of diets based on processed soya flour supplemented with dl-methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA) or dl-methionine (at a level of 1.2 g/16 g N) have been determined in children aged 8–9 years. The mean daily intake of protein by the children on the different diets was maintained at a level of about 1.2 g/kg body weight. Supplementation of soya flour with dl-methionine brought about a marked increase in the biological value and net protein utilization of the proteins. MHA was, however, slightly less effective than dl-methionine in this respect. The biological value and net protein utilization of the different proteins were as follows: soya flour, 63.5 and 53.3; soya flour + MHA, 71.5 and 61.4; soya flour + methionine, 74.9 and 64.7; and skim milk powder, 82.6 and 72.0.

The effect of supplementing a rice diet providing about 1.3–1.4 g protein per kg body weight with lysine, methionine, and threonine individually or together on true digestibility coefficient (DC), biological value (BV), and net protein utilization (NPU) of the proteins has been studied in girls aged 8–9 years. The retention of nitrogen on the rice diet was very low (9.5% of intake in the first series and 8.5% in the second series). The BV and NPU of the proteins of rice diet were 64.1 and 52.9 in the first series and 66.6 and 54.9 in the second series. Supplementation of the rice diet with lysine or methionine or lysine + methionine brought about a significant improvement in N retention (12.6, 12.0, 13.5% of intake) and in the BV (68.3, 66.3, 69.3) and NPU (54.8, 55.7, 55.8). When the rice diet was supplemented with lysine and threonine, a highly significant improvement in the N retention (18.9% of intake) and in the BV (77.4) and NPU (63.4) was observed. Addition of methionine to rice diet containing lysine and threonine resulted in a further improvement in N retention, BV, and NPU of the diets. The net available protein (g/kg body weight) from the different diets were as follows: rice diet, 0.71; rice diet + lysine, 0.76; rice diet + methionine, 0.74; rice diet + lysine + methionine, 0.77; rice diet + lysine + threonine, 0.85; rice diet + lysine + threonine + methionine, 0.91; and skim milk powder diet, 0.96–0.98.

The effect of supplementing a poor rice diet commonly used in India with methionine-fortified soya flour or skim milk powder was studied in seven girls aged 8–9 years, using as criteria: the retention of nitrogen, digestibility coefficient, biological value, and net protein utilization of the proteins. The retention of nitrogen on the rice diet was very low (20.3 mg/kg day). Supplementation of the rice diet with soya flour, methionine-fortified soya flour or skim milk powder, so as to provide about 1 g/kg extra protein, made up the protein deficiency in the rice diet and resulted in a significant increase in nitrogen retention (95.6, 112.1, and 113.6 mg/kg day). The retention of nitrogen on the rice diet supplemented with methionine-fortified soya flour (112.1 mg/kg day) or skim milk powder (113.6 mg/kg day) was nearly the same and significantly higher than that (95.6 mg/kg day) observed with a diet supplemented with soya flour. The biological value and net protein utilization of the mixed proteins of rice – skim milk powder diet and rice–methionine-fortified soya flour diet (62.4 and 62.2 and 53.3 and 54.0 respectively) were nearly the same and significantly higher than those (58.3 and 49.9) of rice – soya flour diet. The results show that methionine-fortified soya flour is almost as good as skim milk powder and significantly superior to soya flour as a protein supplement to rice diet.

Pengertian dari ilmu gizi (nutrition science) adalah “ Ilmu yg mempelajari segala sesuatu tentang makanan dalam hubungannya dengan kesehatan optimal”. Karbohidrat merupakan senyawa organik yang terdiri dari unsur karbon (C), hidrogen (H), dan oksigen(O) . Fungsi Karbohidrat adalah sebagai Sumber energi, pemberi rasa manis pada makanan, penghemat protein, pengatur metabolisme lemak, membantu pengeluaran feses. Lemak adalah senyawa organik yang larut dalam pelarut non polar seperti etanol, kloroform dan benzena, tetapi tidak larut dalam air. Lemak mengandung karbon , hidrogen dan oksigen. Fungsi umum lemak di dalam tubuh adalah menghasilkan energi terkonsentrasi yang memberikan kalori sebesar 9 kal/gram.Protein terdiri atas rantai-rantai panjang asam amino yang terikat satu sama lain dalam ikatan peptide. Asam amino terdiri atas unsur-unsur karbon, hidrogen, oksigen dan nitrogen, unsur nitrogen adalah unsur utama protein, Mutu protein ditentukan melalui : Nilai Biologik (NB), Net Protein Utilization (NPU), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), dan Skor Kimia (Skor Asam Amino). Vitamin adalah senyawa organik yang tersusun dari karbon, hidrogen, oksigen, dan terkadang nitrogen atau elemen lain yang dibutuhkan dalam jumlah kecil agar metabolisme, pertumbuhan dan perkembangan berjalan normal. Vitamin dapat dipilahkan menjadi 2 kelompok yaitu kelompok yang larut dalam lemak dan yang larut dalam air. Mineral berdasarkan kebutuhan digolongkan menjadi mineral makro dan mineral mikro.

Abstract An interlaboratory study involving protein efficiency ratio (PER), net protein ratio (NPR), relative NPR (RNPR) and relative nitrogen utilization (RNU) was carried out. Six collaborators assayed 6 samples, including casein plus methionine which was used as a reference protein. Collaborators prepared their own diets and analyzed the diets for nitrogen. Test proteins were added at the 8% level (N × 6.25). PER values varied more than NPR values which varied more than either RNPR or RNU. RNU and RNPR produced almost identical values, but RNPR remains the official method of choice, because it is a well established method.

Skim milk powder was reconstituted to obtain milk A (with 8.01% TS). Milk A was standardized with 3% of skim milk powder and 3% of demineralized whey powder (DWP), respectively, to obtain milk B (with 11.15% TS) and milk C (with 11.10% TS). Milk samples were heat treated at 85?C/10 min, 90?C/10 min and 95?C/10 min, respectively. Untreated milk was used as control. Acidification was carried out at 25?C, 35?C and 45?C during 240 min with GDL (glucono-d-lactone), namely with the amount of 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%, 1.25% 1.5%, 1.75%, 2.0% and 3.0% of GDL, respectively. The results showed that all investigated factors, explicitly GDL concentration, acidification temperature and applied heat treatment of milk as well as added DWP influence the change of pH during acidification. Milk samples standardized with DWP had smaller buffer capacity and faster change of pH than samples standardized with skim milk powder. Only at acidification temperature of 25?C, added DWP did not influence the change of milk buffer capacity regardless of the change of casein:whey protein ratio. Under this acidification condition, both milk samples standardized with skim milk powder and DWP had similar final pH values.

1. The present work with growing rats was undertaken to study the effect of protein quality, gastrointestinal microbial activity and the level of nitrogen intake on protein utilization and energy digestibiiity. The experiment involved a total of thirty-six dietary treatments in a 9 x 4 factorial design, with five rats per treatment. The thirty-six diets resulted from nine protein sources. Each diet was composed of a basal N-free mixture plus minerals and vitamins, with N sources added at the expense of the N-free mixture to provide 15.0 gN/kg dry matter (DM) in the first three protein-addition treatments and 30.0 gN/kg DM in the fourth protein-addition treatment. The nine protein sources were soya-bean meal, casein, wheat gluten, skim-milk powder, meat-and-bone meal, wheat bran, barley, wheat and cooked brown beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). The four formulations for each protein source incorporated the protein unsupplemented at 15.0 gN/kg DM, unsupplemented at 30.0 gN/kg DM, or supplemented at 15.0 gN/kg DM with the estimated first-limiting amino acid or the antibiotic Nebacitin.2. With all protein sources, the inclusion of the first-limiting amino acid had no effect on either protein or energy digestibility.3. The microbial activity in the digestive tract affected protein utilization and energy digestibility to a different degree depending primarily on the level and type of dietary fibre. True protein digestibility (TD) of skim-milk powder and brown beans, both rich in easily-fermentable energy, increased from 0.959 to 1.000 and from 0.680 to 0.777 respectively by the addition of Nebacitin. TD of the other protein sources was only marginally affected by the antibiotic treatment. Only with brown beans was the biological value (BV) markedly affected by Nebacitin with an increase from 0.482 to 0.557 by the treatment. Energy digestibility was significantly lower in rats given antibiotic with soya-bean meal, wheat bran, barley, wheat and brown beans.4. The effect of level of N intake on protein utilization was dependent on both protein quality and the fibre concentration of the diet. Protein sources with high BV were more affected than proteins of lower BV. It was concluded that TD is not always independent of dietary protein concentration.

Abstract Two-week protein efficiency ratio (2-wk PER), net protein ratio (NPR), calculated-protein efficiency ratio (C-PER), and discriminant computed- protein efficiency ratio (DC-PER) of milk- and soy-based infant formulas were compared to a 4-week protein efficiency ratio (PER). Expressed relative to ANRC casein, 2-week PER and NPR correlated significantly (P < 0.01, r = 0.90) with PER. Although C-PER and DC-PER also correlated significantly (P < 0.01) with PER, r = 0.71 and r = 0.87, respectively, these in vitro methods did not distinguish differences in protein quality among soy-based infant formulas. C-PER and DC-PER, as currently designed, are not applicable to the measurement of protein quality for all types of infant formulas.
