Amino Acids and Proteins, Their Place in Human Nutrition Problems

Nutritive Value of Proteins in Buckwheat and Their Role as Supplements to Proteins in Cereal Grains

“…The results of this study indicate the necessity of large expansion of the cultivation of buckwheat in various sections of the world, particularly in the Orient, Latin American countries, and Africa where there exists a marked protein deficiency associated with a low resistance to infections and low life expectancy (2,5). …”

“…Schendel and others (5) have shown that a level of 2% sludge in the diet of the baby pig will satisfy the B12 requirement for growth without adverse effects.

Foods and Feeds from Fungi

“…As Flodin (76) points out, the amino acids most needed for improvement of the human diet are lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan. If wheat is the major source of protein, addition of lysine alone would provide a balanced amino acid intake.…”

The Prophylaxis of Allergic Disease in Infancy and Childhood

“…That soy bean feeding per se does not result in edema in the eczematous infant has been further discussed elsewhere (15). Other publications attest to the relative equality as regards hgestibility of soy bean protein as compared with cow's milk protein (28); its favorable protein efficiency ratio (4); t!hat the amino acid pattern of soy bean is well suited for supplying the needs of the growing animal (10) and crucial experiments with newborn weanling rats indicating the superiority of soy bean protein as compared with cow's milk protein as regards adequacy for supporting growth, reproduction and lactation in multiple generation feedings (26).…”
