✦ Synopsis
Wheat flour (W), 'Walnutacres' amaranth seeds (A) and three mixtures of them (W : A, 0.87 : 0.13, 0.75 : 0.25 and 0.64 : 0.36 on a protein basis) were assayed for amino acid score (AAS) and protein value (PV) on rats. Lysine and leucine were the limiting amino acids for wheat and amaranth proteins with an AAS of SO and 61 %, respectively. AAS of the combinations W : A, 0.87 : 0.13, 0.75 : 0.25 and 0.64 : 0.36 were 12, 24 and 34%, respectively, and are higher than that of wheat proteins. The PV of amaranth seeds (4.09) was two times higher than that of wheat (1.94). The combinations W : A , 0.75 : 0.25 and 0.64 : 0.36 showed a PV 45% higher than that of the 0.87 : 0.13 one, which in turn was similar to that of the wheat proteins. It is concluded that the supplementation of wheat flour with 'Walnutacres' amaranth up to 20% could improve the protein quality up to 45%.

Untersuchungen uber den Erganzungseffekt der Proteine von Weizen und Amaranth Von Weizenmehl (W), "Wa1nutacres"-Amaranthsamen (A) und drei Mischungen davon (W : A, 0.87 : 0.13; 0.75 : 0.25 and 0.64 : 0,35; auf Protein-Basis) werden "amino acid score" (AAS) und "protein value" (PV) an Ratten bestimmt. Lysin und Leucin sind die limitierenden Aminosauren fur Weizen-und Amaranthproteine mit AAS-Werten von SO bzw. 61 %. Die AAS-Werte fur die drei Kombinationen W : A betrdgen 12, 24 bzw. 34% und sind hoher als diejenigen der Weizenproteine. Der PV-Wert von Amaranthsamen (4.09) ist doppelt so hoch wie der von Weizen (1,94). Die Kombinationen W : A , 0,75 : 0,25 und 0,64: 0,36 zeigen einen um 45% hoheren PV-Wert als der der Kombination 0,87 : 0,13, der Bhnlich demjenigen der Weizenproteine ist. Daraus wird abgeleitet, da8 die Supplementierung von Weizenmehl mit "Wa1nutacres"-Amaranth bis zu 20% die Proteinqualitat bis zu 45% erhohen kann.

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Recent developments in micro‐scale testing methodology and in methods modelling the effects of native forms of constituents by __in vitro__ methods have provided a new approach to study the impact of added foreign proteins on dough end‐use quality. Amaranth (__Amaranthus
The protein quality of 4 Egyptian pastries made from different combinations of flour and fish protein concentrate (Oo/, 4% and 6%) was measured by rat growth study.

The interactions between starch and wheat proteins were studied in oscillatory rheological measurements. The starch varieties examined were maize, barley, wheat, triticale, rye and potato. The storage modulus, G', and the phase angle, 6, were found to be most sensitive to the composition of the star
Wheat germs are used as industrial products for nourishment so that it was necessary to determine the nutritive value of proteins in raw and in roasted wheat germs (temperature: 130-150°C for 20 min). Protein quality evaluation has been determined by a biological method -feeding young growing rats.
