Abstract
The PER of a pOOl: wheat diet (fWD) increased to a highly significant
extent from 2.28 to 2.82 by supplementation with lysine. Addition
of threonine or methionine along with lysine did not bring about
any further increase in PER while addition of a mixture of the above
three essential amino acids resulted in a further significant increase
in PER to 3.21. The results are of great importance to developing
countries as they have shown that the protein quality of poor wheat
diets could be effectively improved by fortification with lysine.
