Abstract
For nutritional evaluation of phosphatidylcholine, determination was made of the digestibility of crude fat and digestible energy of soy phosphatidylcholine separated from soy phospholipid, no meaning. Total energy of soy phosphatidylcholine was 775 kcal/100g, as found using a bomb calorimeter. The digestibility of crude fat and digestible energy were calculated computed from the data of an animal experiment (index method) using chromium oxide as indicater. The digestibility of crude fat of soy phosphatidylcholine was found to be 97.9% and digestible energy, 749.2 kcal/100g. Soy phosphatidylcholine is thus shown to have nutritional value and to be mell-digestive. Soy phospholipid author’s meaning quite vague contains soy phosphatidylcholine and is useful for fatty acid synthesis and triacylglycerol synthesis. Thus, any material containing soy phosphatidylcholine should possess physiological and nutritional value.
