Abstract
Several rat bioassays were conducted to evaluate protein quality and lysine (LYS) bioavailability (BIO) of Osmolite HN, a commercial enteral product, as affected by the severity of heat processing during sterilization and by storage of the products for 1 year. Without amino acid supplementation, the protein quality of Osmolite HN, as determined by protein efficiency ratio (PER), was lower than that of casein, regardless of heat treatment. With addition of the limiting amino acid, cystine, the PER of Osmolite HN was equivalent to that of cystine-fortified casein. Storage of the product for 1 year had no effect (p greater than 0.05) on PER, even though the products had darkened in color. Slope-ratio regression analysis (weight gain regressed on supplemental LYS intake) yielded a LYS BIO estimate of 94.4% for the Osmolite HN control relative to crystalline LYS. Partitioning weight gain into that resulting from LYS consumed in the basal diet and that resulting from the LYS supplement per se provided more accurate estimates of LYS BIO. This method estimated LYS BIO at 100% for the Osmolite HN products, regardless of heat treatment. With storage, LYS BIO decreased 11-12% in all of the Osmolite HN products. The decreased LYS BIO is of minimal nutritional significance in that overall protein quality of the products was not affected by storage. This is likely due to the fact that there is a plethora of lysine in Osmolite HN such that LYS is not a protein-quality limiting factor.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
