Abstract:
The dietary property of the oil of seed of Yen-how (Suaeda Salsa Pall.), a coastal wild plant, was studied with the pair-feeding method. In compare with the peanut oil, the growth effect and the digestibility of the Yen-how oil were determined. It is found that the growth-promoting effect and the digestibility of Yen-how oil are comparable with that of the peanut oil. The average increase in body weight of the young rats for each gram of Yen-how oil consumed is 1.38?0.26g, while that of peanut oil is 1.33 ?0.25g. The digestibility of Yen-how oil is 98.3 ?0.9% and that of the peanut oil is 96.0 ?1.3%. The authors concluded that the Yen-how oil is justified for edible purpose of human subjects.
