Abstract:
The eight essential amino acid contents of nineteen legumes and cereals of different varieties have been determined with the microbiological methods The methionine and lysine contents of cereals are in general lower than that of animal products. However, the methionine in spiked millet (糜子米) and in panicled millet (小米) and lysine in buck wheat (荞麦) are high. Methionine, tryptophane and isoleucine of the legumes are in general lower than those of the animal products.Past dietary surveys have been re-examined in the light of these analytical results, and a more accurate estimate of the nutritional status of the population, with respect to protein is thereby available.
