Preparation of White Leaf Protein Concentrates Using Calcium Salts

Calcium and Calcium Salts.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. Bones and teeth contain approx. 99% of calcium. Calcium exists in both plant and animal foods. The best source of calcium is milk. Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) recommends 600-800 mg/day of calcium which increases to 1200 mg/day in pregnant and lactating mothers. Inadequate calcium intake for longer duration is responsible for osteop...

Determination of protein and reactive lysine in leaf-protein concentrates by dye-binding.

1. Twenty leaf-protein concentrates (LPC), were produced from different crops and by different processes, the latter being designed to retain maximum nutritional value of the samples. 2. The establishment of conditions for the use of CI ACid Orange 12 in a commercial dye-buffer reagent for the determination of protein and reactive (available) lysine in LPC was investigated. 3. Values for protei...

Preparation and purification of coenzyme A concentrates.

No pure substance with coenzyme A (CoA) activity has yet been isolated despite the great biochemical importance of Cob and the expenditure of much time and effort in several laboratories (l-4). Previous work in this laboratory (3) has, therefore, been continued. It was considered essential to develop a cheap, practical, large scale procedure for preparation of preliminary concentrates, which wo...

Preparation and Properties of Vitamin E Concentrates*

Various observations necessarily made on vitamin E concentrates in connection with work on purification of vitamins (l), while outside the scope of that paper, disclosed many pitfalls which the experimenter may avoid with the information here presented. If certain simple precautions are not taken during extraction and saponification of the wheat germ oil, losses of over 90 per cent of its vitam...
