چکیده

Earlier work showed that the nutritive value of casein was decreased by dry heat and that the addition of lysine restored its nutritive value (1). The lysine was not damaged materially by the heat treatment, since analyses of acid hydrolysates of heated casein with lysine decarboxylase (2) and chemical isolation as the picrate (3) showed no decrease in the lysine content. Eldred and Rodney (2), using the lysine decarboxylase method, and Pader, Melnick, and Oser (4), using the Streptococcus fuecdis assay, found that heating casein in a dry state at 150” for a few hours decreased the quantity of lysine liberated by enzyme hydrolysis in vitro. Block, Jones, and Gersdorff (3) reported that the lysine content of casein was not affected by exposure to dry heat at a temperature at 150”, but that enzymatic liberation of the amino acid was decreased. Melnick, Oser, and Weiss (5) pointed out that factors known to increase the nutritive value of soy bean protein also increase its in vitro digestibility. In a recent report, Riesen et al. (6) showed that the degree of liberation of the ten essential amino acids from soy bean oil meal by pancreatin was increased when the meal had been autoclaved for 4 minutes at 15 pounds pressure. When the period of autoclaving was extended to 4 hours, the liberation of these amino acids was decreased below that obtained with the raw meal. The amino acid content was unaffected by the short autoclaving procedure; after prolonged heat treatment, the lysine, arginine, and tryptophan values found by microbiological assay of acid or alkaline hydrolysates were decreased. To determine whether casein was altered similarly, the effect of heat treatment on the amino acid composition and the extent of liberation of amino acids by enzymes were measured microbiologically. Since preliminary experiments indicated that this protein was much more resistant to changes in digestibility by moist heat than soy bean protein, the longer period of autoclaving was extended from 4 to 20 hours.

The Effect of Autoclaving Lysine in the Presence of Carbohydrate on Its Utilization by the Chick* By

The value of heat treatment in improving the nutritive value of soy bean oil meal has long been known. More recently, however, the deleterious effect of autoclaving too long or at too high a temperature has been demonstrated (l-4). Evans and McGinnis (3) attributed this decrease in nutritive value caused by overheating to the lowered availability of methionine. Riesen et al. (5) in work with ra...

The participation of methionine and cysteine in the formation of bonds resistant to the action of proteolytic enzymes in heated casein.

1. The influence of temperature, moisture content and the presence of glucose on the level of available methionine and cysteine in casein was studied. 2. Differences between total and available methionine and cysteine contents of heated casein (90 degrees for 24 h) were determined by an in vitro method. The maximum losses in total and available methionine content were 22 and 51% respectively. T...

Studies on Digestibility of Proteins in Vitro v. Rate of Liberation of Cystine on Hydrolysis of Casein. Some Observations on Colorimetric Tests for Cystine When Applied to Peptic and Acid Digests of Casein* by D. Breese Jones

This paper is a continuation of a series of studies carried on in this laboratory some time ago on the digestibility of proteins in vitro (l-3). The data now presented are the results of some preliminary experiments carried out in connection with proposed studies on the rate of liberation of amino acids from different proteins on digestion. It is known that on enzymic hydrolysis different amino...

Liberation of lysine by acid and enzymes from heated lysine-glucose mixture.

Studies on the formation of humin in protein hydrolysates have demonstrated that heating causes a reaction between carbohydrates and certain amino acids (l-3). This reaction, often referred to as the Maillard reaction, has significance in connection with the development of brown color during the processing of foods. Further, this reaction appears to have nutritional importance, since recently i...

Influence of protein composition and hydrolysis method

An intestinal perfusion technique has been used in normal human subjects to investigate the influence that starter protein composition and hydrolysis procedure have on absorption of amino acid residues from partial enzymic hydrolysates of whole protein. Five starter proteins were studied. Three (egg albumin, casein/soy/lactalbumin, and lactalbumin) were hydrolysed by papain, a second lactalbumi...
