Leaf protein from green pulse crops and nutritive value of legume protein concentrates for poultry

Composition and nutritive value of yeast biomass and yeast protein concentrates.

Yeast biomass (Saccharomyces sp.) produced in local breweries as a by-product was utilized in this study. Percent proximate composition, amino acid composition, and protein nutritive value were determined for the yeast cell biomass (YC), a sodium perchlorate extracted and isoelectrically precipitated protein concentrate (P-PC), and a sodium trimetaphosphate treated extract followed by isoelectr...

The effects of processing on the nutritive value of vegetable-protein concentrates.

Vegetable-protein concentrates may be divided, on the one hand, into conventional products such as legumes and oilseeds which may be eaten directly or after the extraction of commercially valuable oil and, on the other, non-conventional products such as the concmtrates produced from green leaves by pulping and protein precipitation, and edible products prepared from protein isolates. Such isola...

The Nutritive Value of Yeast Protein.*

The idea of the use of yeast as a source of food protein for man and the higher.animals is not a new one; it has, however, been given renewed emphasis by the exigencies of the food situation during the war. Yeast is a highly nitrogenous by-product of the fermentation industries which heretofore has been largely wasted. It also presents the possibility of a synthetic production of protein from e...

In vivo and in vitro methods of measuring nutritive value of leaf-protein preparations.

I . Several in vitro methods were compared with in vivo methods for estimating the nutritive value of leaf-protein concentrates (LPC), using a freeze-dried preparation from wheat (A) fresh, (B) after heating moist, (C) after heating moist and then extraction with chloroform, and (D) after extraction with an acidified solvent. 2. The treatments had little effect on the biological value (BV) of t...
