Evaluation of Novel Protein Products

Evaluation of Novel Protein Products is a collection of several scientific essays that resulted from a symposium held in Stockholm. The order in which the essays are arranged follows a session type format. Session 1 focuses on the world food problem and the treatment of the nutrition problems in the field of economics, and then ends with the strategy in the examination of unique protein foods. Session 2 of the book is about the unique sources of protein. Possible sources include oilseed, fish, animal husbandry, cereal varieties, and leaf proteins. Sessions 3 to 6 analyze the nutritional value and quality of the said protein sources. Session 7 contains the closing statement about the challenge of protein-calorie malnutrition. Doctors, economists, as well as academic and research students whose focus of study is on food shortage and impact of protein in the human food consumption will find this book invaluable.
