Conteúdo: | Eigth essential and for semiessential amino acids for man were determined microbiologically in 18 cereals, 7 tubers, 20 beans and seeds, 5 nuts and food yeast. Moisture, ether extract and ash were also analyzed in these foods before hydrolysis for amino-acid analysis. The ranges of protein content are as flows: cereals 5.4 to 10.71 per cent; tuber, 1.101 to 6.25 per cent; beans and seeds, 12.19 to 31.75 per cent; nuts, 5.62 to 39.7 per cent; and food yeast, 43.83 per cent. The egg ratio and essential amino-acid index (EAA index) of the plant foods reported in this study were used for evaluating their protein quality. With the exception of tubers, coconut meat, flour copra cake, the EAA indices obtained were above 70.
