Trypsin Inhibitor. V. Nutritive Value Of Treated Soybean Oil Meal And Some Characteristics Of The Trypsin Inhibitor In Soybeans, Raymond Borchers, W. E. Ham, R. M. Sandstedt, C. W. Ackerson, R. H. Thayer, F. E. Mussehl

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The marked improvement in the apparent nutritive value of soybean protein after heating has long been recognized. The fundamental cause of this improvement has never been fully understood. Furthermore, commercial soybean oil meal varies considerably in nutritive value although heat treatment is common in most processing plants. Since heating is generally regarded as deleterious to the nutritive quality of protein, the following investigations of various treatments of soybean oil meal are of particular importance in developing a soybean or soybean oil meal of maximum and uniform nutritive value.

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The vitamin-A, carotene, fat and moisture concentrations of Nebraska creamery butter were determined at monthly intervals for 25 months. Samples were obtained from 14 creameries located throughout the state. Their vitamin-A and carotene determinations were made with the aid of a spectrophotometer, and their fat and moisture analyses were determined by the A.O.A.C. methods. From a comparison of these data with the results of investigations in other states it was concluded that Nebraska butter was at least equal in vitamin-A value to average United States butter.
