Notes:
Experimental breads were made with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12% torula yeast flour (TYF). Taste panels found that bread fortified with 8% TYF was acceptable. Eight percent TYF raised protein content from 12.42% for all wheat flour bread to 14.22% for supplemented bread. Amino acid analyses indicated a marked increase in amino acid content especially lysine. The protein efficiency ratio (PER) for rats on all-wheat-flour bread was 1.3 1; replacing 8% of the wheat flour with TYF raised PER of supplemented bread to 2.28. Total carcass nitrogen retained by animals fed a diet containing supplemented bread was higher than that retained by rats whose protein was obtained from unsupplemented bread.
