The quality of protein and amino acids of soya is being used as soy protein-based formulas in infant feeding to provide nutrition for normal growth and development. There are few indications for their use in place of cow milk-based formula, although it has no advantage over cow milk protein based formula beyond those indications.

The usage of soy isolate protein formula for infants was recommended by Indonesian Pediatrics Association (IDAI) through the recommendation of Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) management in 2014. Soy Infant Formula (SIF) has been being used for Infants with Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) as well as for several other related medical indications such as post diarrhea lactose intolerance, galactosemia and primary lactase deficiency1. At early stage of soy formula, it had several deficiencies, infant acceptability, growth, and incomparable with milk-base formula. Current SIF is made from soy protein isolate that contain 2,2 – 2,6 g of protein per 100 calories, it is higher than milk-based formula and both showed same growth and development in Infants2. It contains different fibers, phytate, digestibility, protease inhibitor and proteins. SIF is easily digestible and contain high amino acid content fortified with L-methionine, L-carnitine and taurine. High content of phytate is overcome with zinc and iron fortification as well as increased levels of calcium and phosphor3. American Academy of Pediatrics recommends isolated soy protein-based formulas as a safe and effective alternative for providing appropriate nutrition for normal growth and development for term infants whose nutritional needs are not being met from maternal breast milk or cow’s milk-based formulas3,4.

This article reports the amino acid composition of the Nigerian local cheese called ‘wara’. ‘Wara’ is made by boiling cow milk with some added coagulant to cuddle the milk protein resulting in coagulated milk protein and whey. ‘Wara’ used to be an excellent source of nutrients such as proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. Samples were purchased in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Amino acid values were high (g/100g crude protein) in Leu, Asp, Glu, Pro, Phe, Arg with total value of 97.7. The quality parameters of the amino acids were: TEAA (42.6g/100g and 43.6%) whereas TNEAA (55.1g/100g and 56.4%); TArAA (12.8g/100g and 13.1%); TBAA (14.2g/100g and 14.5%); TSAA (3.10g/100g and 3.17%); %Cys in TSAA (51.4); Leu/Ile ratio (1.74); P-PER1 (2.65); P-PER2 (2.48); P-PER3 (2.41); EAAI1 (soybean standard) (1.29) and EAAI2 (egg standard) (99.9); BV (97.2) and Lys/Trp ratio (3.62). The statistical analysis of TEAA/TNEAA at r=0.01 was not significantly different. On the amino acid scores, Met was limiting (0.459) at egg comparison, Lys was limiting at both FAO/WHO [24] and preschool EAA requirements with respective values of 0.966 and 0.97. Estimates of essential amino acid requirements at ages 10-12 years (mg/kg/day) showed the ‘wara’ sample to be better than the standard by 3.72-330% with Lys (3.72%) being least better and Trp (330%) being most. The results showed that ‘wara’ is protein-condensed which can be eaten as raw cheese, flavoured snack, sandwich filling or fried cake.

1. In a previous study (Kindt et al. 1983, 1984) it was assumed that a protein hydrolysate, devoid of phenylalanine, together with intact protein as given to children with phenylketonuria (PKU), was equivalent to egg or milk protein. One group of children was given this ‘PKU protein’ in amounts corresponding to the Joint FAO/WHO ad hoc Expert Committee (1973) recommendations. The results indicated that the Joint FAO/WHO ad hoc Expert Committee (1973) recommended levels of protein intake were marginal.2. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether the quality of the protein hydrolysate, together with intact protein (‘PKU protein’), is equivalent to egg or milk protein. This was done using a rat bioassay. Four protein sources were used: (1) egg protein, (2) protein hydrolysate, (3) protein hydrolysate diluted with non-essential amino acids, (4) protein hydrolysate mixed with food proteins (‘PKU protein’), comparable with the diet previously used (Kindt et al. 1983, 1984).3. The results indicated that the ‘PKU protein’ was of very high qua1ity: net protein utilization (NPU) > 90. The protein hydrolysate alone and the protein hydrolysate diluted with non-essential amino acids gave a NPU > 80.4. The conclusion drawn from the present study is that the ‘PKU protein’, as used in the treatment of children with PKU, is equivalent to egg or milk protein. This supported the view that the Joint FAO/WHO ad hoc Expert Committee (1973) recommended levels of intake were marginal.

Introduction: Regurgitation is a common issue in infants under six months of age who are at risk of esophagitis with excessive frequency and volume. This problem is due, in part, to allergies in the whey protein content in Cow's milk. Objective: The purpose of this research was to examine the connection between Cow's milk consumption and processed products by mothers with regurgitation frequency in infants. Method: This form of study is cross-sectional, with 44 respondents using a purposeful sampling technic in mothers who have children under six months of age. Analysis of data using the Independent t-test test with a nominal scale of data. Result:  The findings showed an average regurgitation frequency was 2.4 times, and the results of the study showed an association between Cow's milk intake and refined goods by mothers with regurgitation in infants under six months with a p-value:0.014. Discussion: Enhanced frequency of regurgitation in mothers who consume Cow's milk and processed foods because of the risk of childhood allergy to the quality of Cow's milk protein, and it is advised that parents be conscious of the frequency of regurgitation due to mother-eaten food.

Purpose Hot flashes occur in approximately 80% of androgen-deprived men. Few intervention studies have been conducted to relieve hot flashes in men. Patients and Methods Eligible androgen-deprived men were randomly assigned to one of four daily regimens (2 × 2 factorial design) for 12 weeks: milk protein powder and placebo pill, venlafaxine and milk protein powder, soy protein powder and placebo pill, or venlafaxine and soy protein powder. The primary end point was hot flash symptom severity score (HFSSS), defined as number of hot flashes times severity. The secondary end point was quality of life (QoL), assessed by using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate. Results In all, 120 men age 46 to 91 years participated. Most were white (78%) and overweight or obese (83%). Toxicity was minimal. Neither venlafaxine nor soy protein alone or in combination had a significant effect on HFSSS. Soy protein, but not venlafaxine, improved measures of QoL. Conclusion In androgen-deprived men, neither venlafaxine nor soy proved effective in reducing hot flashes. Interventions that appear effective for decreasing hot flashes in women may not always turn out to be effective in men.

Objective. The objective is to analyze the features of sensitization to food allergens in vegetarian children.Methods: 210 children aged from 3 months to 17 years and 11 months old: vegetarians with at least 6 months vegetarian experience (n = 129) and children receiving a traditional diet (n = 81) were examined. The level of specific immunoglobulin E of blood serum to cow milk protein, soy, beef, pork, chicken, fish (cod), egg white and wheat was determined.Results: The rate of sensitization to food allergen in vegetarian children did not statistically differ from that of a comparison group (18.6 against 17.3 %, p>0.05). The correlation analysis showed a slight association between vegetarian diet and the level of specific immunoglobulin E only for soy protein (r = 0.22, p<0.05).Conclusions: The obtained results speak of higher risk of sensitization to soy in vegetarian children.

Abstract Background: Rumex gmelinii Turcz. (RGT) is a medicinal plant of Rumex in Polygonaceae. Our research group isolated an endophytic fungus plectosaphaerella cucumerina (Strain J-G) from RGT, which could promote the growth of the host significantly when was co-cultured with the host. In this study, we mainly used transcriptomic analysis to explore the molecular mechanism of the growth promoting effect.Results: It was found that during the process of co-culture with Strain J-G, metabolism of amino acids, the synthesis and metabolism of carbohydrates in RGT tissue culture seedlings were all promoted, which provided sufficient material and energy basis for the growth of plants. In addition, response to hormones such as auxin and cytokinin in RGT tissue culture seedlings was improved significantly, which promoted the growth and development of plants. The repairing ability of DNA in RGT tissue culture seedlings was enhanced to provide a good guarantee for the growth of plants. Meanwhile, defense system of RGT tissue culture seedlings was also mobilized by the existence of Strain J-G, therefore more secondary metabolites and stress resistant substances were produced to ensure the normal growth and metabolism of plants.Conclusion: During the co-culture of the endophytic fungus J-G and RGT tissue culture seedlings, metabolism of amino acids, synthesis and metabolism of carbohydrates were promoted, which provided sufficient materials and energies for the growth of RGT tissue culture seedlings. The responses to hormones such as auxin and cytokinin were improved, which enhanced the growth and development of RGT tissue culture seedlings. The DNA repair capacities were improved, which provided a good guarantee for the growth of RGT tissue culture seedlings. In addition, the existence of Strain J-G also activated the defense mechanism of RGT tissue culture seedlings, therefore more secondary metabolites and various stress-resistant substances were produced to ensure the growth and metabolism of RGT tissue culture seedlings.

Dietary consumption of soy varies worldwide.In Asia, people traditionally consume largequantities of soy, while in Europe, soy is notpart of the traditional or daily eating habits.The USA is a major soy producer. The mean intake ofisoflavones by an adult is 8 - 50 mg/day in Asia but only0.5 - 3.5 mg/day in the Western world.1 The soy intakeof a vegetarian is 3 - 12 mg/day and a vegan achievesan intake of 15-60 mg/day.2In the early 1900s, soy-protein preparationswere the only option for the treatment of cow's milkprotein allergy (CMPA) . The first report of the use ofa soybean -based formula for infants dates from 1909.3Most soy drinks are not enriched with zinc, iron,calcium, phosphorous, methionine, or carnitine. Soydrinks also do not contain soy isolate. Soy productsthat do not fulfill the criteria to be an infant formulaare not adapted for infant feeding.
