Notes:
Rat bioassays revealed that protein quality of a commercial enteral product was not affected by carbohydrate (CHO) content, heat treatment or storage. Slope-ratio regression analysis of weight gain yielded lysine (LYS) and sulfur amino acid (SAA) bioavailability estimates of 96.7% and 100.0% (relative to crystalline sources of LYS and SAA), respectively, regardless of CHO content or heat treatment. With storage of the products for 1 year, a 10% decrease in LYS bioavailability occurred in those products containing CHO with dextrose equivalency values ≥ 17.3. LYS bioavailability in the products with lower reducing sugar content was not affected by storage. SAA bioavailability was not affected by storage, regardless of CHO content.
