Protein Nitrogen

Total and soluble nitrogen, protein and non-protein -nitrogen was determined as well as the amino acid composition of the caryopses of ten rye varieties including three bred in Poland and cultivated on a commercial scale: 'Dańkowskie Złote', 'Dańkowskie Selekcyjne' and 'Borkowskie Tetra'. and seven foreign varieties characterized by a high total protein content (11.9-16.4% in dry weight). In the varieties examined the amount of protein nitrogen increased in the same degree as did the content of total nitrogen. The amino acids limiting the nutritive value of the protein in rye caryopses were mostly lysine and methionine, and in the varieties with high protein content tryptophan. The low-protein varieties had a relatively higher content of lysine, sulphur amino acids, tryptophan and other amino acids (as % of protein) than the high protein ones, but their absolute amino acid content (as % of dry weight) was lower.

Germination Process

SUMMARYThe amino acid composition of barley grain was studied during the maturation of the grain and during germination of the mature grain. Samples of the variety Proctor, grown at two nitrogen levels in each of the years 1969 and 1970, were analysed together with one sample of Sultan grown in 1970. It was found that during maturation the proportions of glutamic acid and proline increased and that the levels of these amino acids were highest in those samples with the highest total protein content. During ripening the proportions of lysine, alanine, aspartic acid, threonine and glycine decreased. On germination the proportions of glutamic acid and proline rapidly decreased whilst aspartic acid, lysine, alanine and glycine increased.The nutritive value of ripe barley grain is limited by its low lysine content. Whilst the germination process increases the level of lysine it is suggested that this does not increase the nutritional value of the grain due to the low level of cystine in the germinated grain.

AbstractBamboo shoots and leaves are valuable food sources for both humans and livestock. The USDA-ARS NPGS (National Plant Germplasm System) collections hold 93 bamboo species in 20 genera. Total leaf protein, amino acid composition and elemental content for these important genetic resources had never been quantified. Lack of nutrition information hinders germplasm utilization. The above-mentioned nutritional traits were evaluated from these 93 species in this study. Leaf protein content among bamboo species ranged from 8.12 to 16.33% with an average of 12.84%. This average was higher than 9.0% observed for switchgrass leaves, but considerably lower than 32.48% in cassava leaves. For 18 quantified amino acids, there was more than a twofold variation among the samples evaluated. For 12 quantified mineral elements, there was significant variability from the low end (4.2-fold, 2.27–9.52 mg/g calcium; 4.4-fold, 56.17–246.43 µg/g sodium) to the high end (61.5-fold, 17.67–1087.0 µg/g manganese; 40.8-fold, 42.0–1713.5 µg/g aluminium). Due to their variability in leaf nutritive value, bamboo species should be carefully chosen when they are used as a feedstock. The results from this study will be useful for the bamboo industry, producers and consumers.
