    Many reports on the effect of condensed inorganic phosphates fed to growing rats at the P/Ca ratio of above 1.5.
    The experiment was conducted by feeding weanling male rats (Fisher strain, 4 weeks old) a diet containing phosphorus at P/Ca ratio of 0.7 using only Na2HPO4 as orthophosphate or Na5P3O10 as a phosphorus source and the following result was obtained.
    1) Phosphorus of tripolyphosphate was utilized almost equally to that of orthophosphate.
    2) Mean feed intake and body weight gain of rats fed tripolyphosphate were lower (p<0.05) than the control group fed orthophosphate. No difference was observed between the two groups in the feed efficiency and the protein efficiency ratio.
    3) The mean lung weight was lower (p<0.05) in the group fed tripolyphosphate than in the control group, but no inter-group difference was observed in the mean weight of thymus, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenal gland and testis respectively.
    4) There were no inter-group differences in the mean weight of femur as well as that of tibia and fibula.
    5) Calcium excretion (p<0.05) in the feces and urine in the group fed tripolyphosphate was greater than in the control group, resulting in a lower calcium retention (p<0.05) in the treated group.
    6) No significant inter-group differences were observed in the apparent absorption of calcium, magnesium and iron, even though it was lower in the treated group than the control group.

    A study on food intake frequency was conducted among 611 elderly persons (270 men and 341 women) aged 65 or older living in Kyoto City using a specially designed questionnaire.
    The results are summarized below.
    1) The subjects appeared to have relatively good eating habits, particularly in that they took many kinds of food items every day. This tendency was more apparent in women than in men.
    2) Their meals were well balanced in respect of nutrients, salt and sugar intake, and the amounts. They ate meals regularly.
    3) Those who responded that they looked forward to meals and had regular exercises, hobbies, good teeth and satisfactory life with their spouses had good eating habits. Men living alone had a lot to be desired in respect of their food intake frequencies. Daily activities, regular living habits, health and good teeth were found to be closely related to the appropriateness of the dietary life, suggesting that the dietary life of the elderly must be understood as indicating a side of their general life and health.

    In preparing low potassium diets for renal failure patients, soaking conditions for edible burdock were studied. The soaking solution temperature and the vinegar concentration were studied.
    The following results were obtained.
    1) Higher the solution temperature and the vinegar concentration, the higher the eluation ratio of potassium and calcium became. The higher the vinegar concentration, the higher the eluation ratio of phosphorus became.
    2) Lye removal efficiency: Lye can be removed efficiently at the solution temperature of 30°C and the vinegar concentration of 0%.
    3) Functional test: Functional test of stir-fried shredded burdock indicated that the higher K eluation ratio and suitably removed lye in order to obtain the dish with, the solution temperature should be about 30°C and the vinegar concentration about 1%.
