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

During recent years, considerable amount of work has been carried out by many workers on the use of oil seed meals for overcoming protein deficiency in the diets of childern in developing countries. The most abundant and promising sources of proteins in several developing countries are the meals obtained from groundnut, soya bean, cottonseed, sesame and coconut.

Abstract

The albino rat is being widely used for determining the nutritive value of the proteins of foodstuffs and human dietaries. Among the food proteins, the proteins of egg have been found to possess the highest nutritive value for promoting growth in rats. Egg proteins contain nearly the same amounts of lysine but greater amounts of sulphur amino acids as compared with human mice proteins. Human milk proteins have been found to be adequate for promoting optimum growth in infants.

Abstract

Regeneration of proteins, either in liver or in plasma and increase in body weight following protein repletion, have been used as indices to evaluate the quality of protein. Changes in the nutritional state of animal influence the activities of enzyme systems in different organs. Liver loses labile proteins rapidly on protein deficient diets and as a result, serum albumin gets decreased. These conditions are reversible with refeeding. The rate and extent of regeneration depends on the quality and quantity of dietary protein and also the availability of other nutrients.

Abstract

A majority of population in developing countries subsists on diets mainly based on cereals and millets like rice, wheat, kaffir corn and ragi. Nutrition surveys carried out in India have shown that just increase in the amount of habitual diets would, to a great extent improve the nutritional status of the Indian population. In view of the food shortage, new foods and formulations based on oilseed meals with the conventional low cost foods would prove to be a promising approach.

Abstract

Food production is inadequate to meet the needs of the population in developing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Consequently, incidence of malnutrition and undernutrition is very high among these groups of the population. Since the percapita milk production is low in the developing countries, attempts have been made by several workers to develop weaning foods based on blends of cereals, legumes and oilseed meals suitable for feeding weaned infants and preschool children.

During recent years a large amount of work has been done by various workers on the effects of disproportionate amounts of amino acids on the growth and health of experimental animals. The results have shown that addition of excess amounts of the different essential amino acids to low protein diets may produce depression in growth and in some cases, toxic effects.

Wheat and Kaffir corn (Sorghum vulgare) are the important cereals consumed as staple food by the low income groups, of the population in different parts of India. Studies carried out by different workers have shown that diets based on the above cereals promote moderate growth in rats and are lacking in proteins, certain essential vitamins and minerals. Owing t o the shortage in the supply of milk and other animal foods to the low income groups, efforts have been made by several workers to develop low cost protein foods based on oil seed meals and legumes for use as supplements to these diets.

The diets consumed by a large majority of the population in the developing countries are based on cereals and millets, ischolar_mains and tubers and certain small amounts of legumes and negligible amounts of milk and other animal foods. Such diets are deficient in protein, certain vitamins and minerals and do not promote optimal growth of children. In view of the practical difficulties involved in increasing milk production in these countries; attempts are being made to use processed protein foods based on plant proteins viz. oilseed meals and legumes and fortified with essential vitamins and minerals as supplements to the diets of children.
