Abstract
The beneficial effect on the nutritive value of bread and similar cereals of adding small amounts of lysine and other essential amino acids has recently aroused considerable interest both in Great Britain and in America. Tests carried out with rats have shown considerably improved growth rates accompanied by increased efficiency of food conversion.Keywords
