Description The protein efficiency ratios (for a 4 week period) of infant food formulation based on groundnut
protein isolate, full-fat soya flour, dextrimaltose and hydrogenated groundnut oil were 2,72 and 2.33 at 15
and 20 per cent levels of protein intake respectively and did not differ significantly from the corresponding
values (2.79 and 2.23 respectively) for milk food of similar composition. The relative efficacy of the infant
food formulation as compared to milk food in meeting the protein requirements of protein depleted animals
was studied. The protein in the diet was maintained at a level of 20 per cent. No significant differences were
observed in the moisture, fat and protein contents of the livers and carcasses of depleted rats, repleted on
infant food or milk food. The animals, when fed on a nitrogen-free synthetic diet for a period of 26 days, lost
on an average, 30 per cent of body weight and 40 per cent of liver weight. The red blood cell count,
haemoglobin level and total serum proteins in the blood of rats were restored to normal levels, when the
protein depleted rats were repleted on infant food or milk food for a period of 21 days. The mean gains in
body weight per g of protein retained or the protein retentions per 100 g gain in body weight of rats repleted
on infant food with or without added dl-methionine did not differ significantly from the corresponding
values obtained for milk food. The mean gains in weight per g of protein intake as also the mean protein
retentions per 100 g protein intake of rats repleted on infant food were significantly lower than that of rats
repleted on milk food.
