How Processing Affects Nutritive Values of Grain Foods

The effect of processing on the nutritive value of flesh foods.

Table I shows the nutritional contribution made by flesh foods (i.e. meat, fish, poultry and egg products) to the diet in Britain in 1969 and underlines the importance of these foods in the supply of fat, protein and vitamins A, D and those of the B complex. It will be demonstrated that processing of these foods can cause alterations in protein availability and loss of vitamins, and these aspec...

How alcohol intake affects visual temporal processing

Alcohol affects vision. However, the influence of alcohol on visual processing is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of alcohol on visual spatiotemporal processing. We employed a visual paradigm, the shine through backward masking paradigm, in which a vernier is either presented alone or followed by a variety of mask. We investigated performance for women at blood alcohol levels...

How the Nonextensivity Parameter Affects Energy Fluctuations

In this article, the effect of the nonextensivity parameter on the energy fluctuations of nonextensive systems is studied in two different versions of the Tsallis statistical mechanics. Once a general expression has been reported for the energy fluctuations in the second version (Tsallis work in 1988), the energy fluctuations of an ideal gas and a harmonic oscillator are studied in the second a...

Protein Values in Foods

In a former publication1 we have shown that the proteins of the navy bean do not markedly supplement those of the maize kernel so as to improve their quality for the support of growth. This means that the proteins of this cereal and legume seed are both deficient in some of the same indispensable amino-acids. Our earlier studies also indicated that the cereal proteins do not have much of a supp...
