Abstract:

In order to enriching protein resources and solving the present situation of protein resources deficient, the contents of main nutritional components and amino acids of apple seed were detected, and the international general nutritional value assessment method was applied for the overall nutritional assessment of its protein. The assessment result showed that apple seed which contained 51.23% protein, 26.2% fat and 5.05% carbohydrate had rich nutritional. The contents of protein were higher than soy beans which contain about 46.78%. The kind of amino acids were perfect. First, the total content of essential amino acids in apple seed was high, which occupied 34.32% of the total amino acids. Moreover, the IEAA is 80.82 by comparing with the ideal protein model recommended by FAO/WHO. The essential amino acid content of apple seed was accorded with adults.
