Abstract
Observation was made on the growth of albino rats fed on the flour products saled for baby's food A, B and C. The products A and B were manufactured from polished rice. When fed on A only gave an inferior effect on the growth, but addition of lysine to A, and fed on B only, gave about the same effect of polished rice flour. From these results, A is considered to have lost lysine through heating treatment in the course of manufacture. Rats administered with only C, products from starch, lost weight and suffered from lypoproteinemia.
