Protein quality of high-protein and low-protein milled rices in preschool children
1979
Roxas, Benigna V. | Intengan, Carmen Ll | Juliano, Bienvenido O.
High- and low-protein milled rices were compared with casein as a control when fed as the main source of dietary nitrogen to 8 apparently normal Filipino children 1.5 to 2.0 years of age. Apparent digestibility of 60.0% for high-protein rice was lower than for low-protein rice (66.2%), and higher values were obtained (76.8 and 80.8%) for the two casein control diets. The results support previous data on children fed non-isonitrogenous rice-based diets indicating that an increase in protein content of milled rice results in only a slight decrease in its protein quality.
