STUDIES ON MILK SUBSTITUTES——X. The Role of Egg Yolk Powder on the Growth Promoting Effect of Soybean Milk Substitute 5410 / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

It has been demonstrated by animal and human experiments that the growth promoting effect of soybean milk substitute formula 5410 is comparable with that of human milk or cow's milk formula commonly used in infant feeding. It was assumed that such a favorable effect is due in part to the inclusion of 5% of egg yolk powder in the formula. However, such an assumption remains to be confirmed.In the present animal experiment, the 5% egg yolk powder was either removed (diet 5700), or substituted with 5% whole egg powder (diet 5411), 5% whole cow's milk powder (diet 5720), 10% whole cow's milk powder (diet 5721).It was fouad that the growth promoting effect of diet 5411 is the, same as that of 5410, while that of the other, diets are all significantly inferior than that of 5410. The role played by the definite amount of egg yolk in the soybean milk substitute is postulated.
