Abstract

In view of the inadequate supply of milk and other protein-rich foods of animal origin in many developing countries, investigations have been carried out by several workers on the use of protein-rich foods of vegetable origin e.g. oilseed meals and legumes in the treatment and prevention of protein malnutrition in children. The proteins of vegetable origin are, in general, deficient in one or more of the essential amino acids and hence possess a lower nutritive value than animal proteins. It is known, however, that deficiencies of amino acids in individual vegetable proteins could be made up by the use of blends of proteins in suitable proportions. Recent investigations have shown that blends of isolated proteins from peanut and soya bean along with skim milk or casein, possess a high protein efficiency ratio and are highly effective in the treatment of protein malnutrition.

Abstract

Radiation protection measures should be based on quantitative estimates of the various types of injury resulting from exposure to radiation. Safe levels of occupational or population exposure cannot obviously be proposed unless the associated hazards can be at least approximately assessed.

Abstract

It is only towards the turn of the century that Nutrition had emerged as a scientific discipline from other basic sciences, notably, biochemistry and physiology. Nevertheless, in a comparatively short space of time, it has developed rapidly and overwhelmingly into an exact science, playing a role of ever-increasing importance in the field of public health.
