Amino Acid Composition of Proteins Produced by Traditional Industries of the North

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the balance of the amino acid composition of the products of traditional industries of the North. The results of the study of the amino acid composition of the main local foods are presented. To calculate the biological value of protein products, uses a method based on comparing the amino acid composition of proteins of the studied products with a reference protein (the amino acid score method). The determination of the amino acid composition, as well as the score for each essential amino acid, was carried out in control and experimental samples of meat, milk and fish. The amino acid composition of proteins determines the biological value of food. Biological value is an indicator of the quality of dietary protein, which reflects the digestibility of protein and the degree of compliance of its amino acid composition with the needs of the body in amino acids. The results of the study of the products of traditional industries of the North show that all types of products have a high biological value. Based on the indicators of the biological value of proteins, as well as the functional orientation of the ingredients, the composition of products for the nutrition of various population groups will be justified.
