  • Title: Nutritive value of meat-soy mixture.
    Author: Mekhael KG, Bassily NS, el-Shafei MM, Said AK.
    Journal: Nahrung; 1988; 32(8):729-35. PubMed ID: 3231259.
    Abstract:
    The protein value of meat soy blend was evaluated by utilizing the net protein ratio (NPR), the relative protein value (RPV) and the serum urea content methods. It was compared with that of meat. Casein was used as a reference protein. NPR values indicated that utilization of meat and meat soy proteins are comparable. The study of amino acid pattern shows that sulphur containing amino acids are limiting to almost the same degree in meat and meat soy blend. However, the RPV of meat soy bean blend is slightly higher than that of meat. The lowest serum urea content was that of rats fed meat soy blend. Therefore, the mixing of meat with soy bean did not reduce the nutritive value of meat, on the contrary there is tendency towards improvement.
