Abstract
The true digestibility and the biological value of the proteins of beef round and of five nuts, Brazil, cashew, almond, filbert and English walnut, have been determined in from nine to forty-one tests in each case, using growing albino rats as subjects. Beef protein is superior to all of the nut proteins studied in both particulars, although the cashew nut is not greatly inferior, with a digestibility of 96 and a biological value of 72. All other nuts exhibit biological values under the conditions of these experiments ranging from 50 to 60.Keywords
