Abstract

Tribal communities form an important and ancient segment of Indian population. It is generally regarded that as a result of extreme poverty, the intake of various essential constituents of food is inadequate among tribals. The nature and extent of deficiencies vary from tribe to tribe and from season to season.

Abstract

When the dietetic patterns of people with low income group are carefully studied, it is noticed that this under-nourished population do not get enough proteins, calories, essential amino acids and many other essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, etc. In spite of these deficiencies, these people do not show frank signs of the deficiencies of proteins or amino acids as reported hitherto in the literature.

Abstract

During the recent years, the studies have been in the forefront regarding the protein nutrition and especially in the developing countries. One of the facets of such investigations is to see whether the earlier ideas about the essential amino acid requirement holds good in the undernourished population. Hence the study was undertaken.

Abstract

Since the work of Rose the essential amino acids have assumed importance in human nutrition. Thereafter the work of Harper and his school-gave further elucidation to the problem due to his findings about the inhibitory action of one amino acid against another.

Abstract

During a study of the nutritional value of Italian miilet (Setaria italica) it was observed that it is ineffective in promoting the growth of rats, although its protein content and essential amino acid levels (except arginine, histidine and leucine) are comparable to that of wheat which was used as a control diet in addition to casein. Adjustment of all the deficient essential amino acid levels or lysine level alone in millet to those found in casein resulted in improved growth response in rats. However, sub-optimal to those obtained for casein and wheat respectively, suggesting thereby that the arginine: lysine ratio (5:1) present in millet might play an important role in the utilization of millet protein. To test this hypothesis, arginine was added to both the casein and wheat diet in the same proportion of arginine to lysine found in the millet diet.
