Protein Quality of Selected Muscle Foods as Affected by the Exchange of Dietary Wheat Bran for Cellulose

摘要

ABSTRACTThe exchange of 8.4 neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of wheat bran for 8.3 NDF of cellulose in diets containing either beef, chicken, fish or casein as protein sources did not (P>0.05) alter feed consumption, weight gain or energy intake in the protein efficiency ratio (PER) bioassay with weanling rats. Higher (P0.05) on PER or net protein ratio (NPR) of casein or fish protein or on NPR of chicken protein. However, PER and NPR of beef and PER for chicken were reduced (P<0.05) when the dietary fiber was exchanged.
