Protein value of some industrial dairy products.
Digestibility, Retention and Protein Efficiency Ratio of milk retentate, rennet-casein, acid-casein and two industrial caseinates were investigated on the rat. The PER of acid casein (3.15) and milk retentate (3.19) had the same value, whereas caseinates and rennet-casein had lower efficiency (between 2.95 and 2.57). Yet, the NPU data range in this decreasing order: milk retentate, rennet-casein, caseinates and acid-casein.
