[Chemical composition and protein value of some baby foods (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The determination of lipids, available carbohydrates and unavailable carbohydrates, and of various minerals has been carried out on some baby foods; the value of the protein fraction has been similarly determined by the ultrafiltration method of the enzymic hydrolisate in vitro. Both the total protein content and the essential amino acid availability of the foodstuffs are satisfactory although generally speaking a slight decrease of the protein value has been found in this material as compared to the crude samples, due particularly to the breakdown of sulfur-containing amino acids. This breakdown is due probably to the high temperature reached during the technological processes at industrial level.
