FISH MEAL QUALITY 259 



Fish Protein Concentrate 



For many years dehydrated fish proteins have been suggested as an 

 animal protein additive in areas where diets are deficient in animal pro- 

 tein. Fish protein has been added as a supplement to cereal flours and 

 shown to increase the nutritional value of the vegetable protein. A high 

 lysine content has been reported^^-^", and the protein efficiency ratio was 

 found to be the same as egg albumin^^ The nutritional value of several 

 products was compared^^ and variations were found. However, if fish 

 protein concentrate is properly prepared it will provide high quality 

 protein,
