摘要:The effect of starch diet on the utilization of protein for rat was examined, using the following basal diet: 61% starch, 24% wheat gluten, 10% soy bean oil containing cod liver oil, 4% salt mixture, 1% vitamin mixture, and they were supplemented with 5g cellulose per 100g diet. The used starches were corn, rice and potato starches, refined them, and phosphated corn starch. Criteria for evaluation of protein utilization were protein efficiency ratio, digestibility of protein and availability of lysine. Feeding the basal diet, in which lysine was the primary limiting amino acid, the availability of lysine for rat fed rice starch diet was higher than the other starch diets, corn and potato. This result was also obtained when the refined starch diet was fed for rat. But, feeding the 0.08% lysine supplemented diet, in which lysine and methionine were contained at the similar level comparing with essential amino acid pattern, the availability of lysine and protein digestibility were higher for corn starch diet than the other diets, rice and potato. As this result showed that the content of phosphorous in starch, especially bound phosphorous, tended to decrease the lysine availability, the effect of phosphorous bound to starch upon protein utilization was elucidated using phosphated corn starch. Phosphated corn starch diet was inferior to the refined one in all criteria for protein utilization. This result suggests that phosphate bound to starch decreased the lysine availability in these diet compositions.
