The invention discloses an evaluation method for diet protein intake (DPI) of a chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient. Through research of relationships between a fasting serum blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) and a single-time urine urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (UUN/Cr) of a CKD third-phase patient with a stable illness state, and the diet protein intake (DPI), a DPI simple calculation formula based on the fasting serum BUN/Cr and/or random urine UUN/Cr is established. According to the final calculation formula, it is expected that a traditional method for evaluating the DPI through subsistence of the urine within 24 hours can be replaced by a biochemical detection result of a single-time blood or urine in clinical follow-up. Defects such as complexity, long detection time, poor accuracy, difficult sample subsistence or low patient compliance in the traditional method are overcome. Clinically, the method can be used for clinical follow-up, simple blood drawing or single-time urination, thereby evaluating the DPI. The method can be used for managing the diet protein intake of the CKD patient well, fast and conveniently.

Compositions and methods for providing infant nutrition with partially hydrolysed proteins and non-digestible oligosaccharides for use in induction of oral tolerance against native dietary proteins.

A microbial adherence inhibitor in the form of fowl egg antibodies is disclosed, along with the method of making it and methods of using it. The inhibitor functions by substantially preventing the attachment or adherence of colony-forming immunogens in the rumen and intestinal tracts of host food animals. The inhibitor is made by inoculating female birds with the immunogen, harvesting the eggs which contain antibodies to the immunogen, harvesting the eggs which contain antibodies to the immunogen, drying the egg contents and adding to the feed or water for the host animals. Dependent upon the particular immunogen with which the female bird is inoculated, the egg antibody is used to promote the growth of food animals by improving feed conversion rates by decreasing the waste of dietary protein caused by the presence of certain colony-forming organisms in the animals, and to substantially reduce or eliminate the incidence of illnesses caused by the presence of certain illness-causing colony-forming immunogens, such as E. coli 0157:H7, in meat from food animals, and in other food stuffs.

Disclosed is a method for identification of key amino acids in plant proteins critical in generating allergenic activity through mapping the epitope(s) harboring human IgE binding activity. The identified epitope (s) are then modified by amino acid substitution preferably by alanine substitution, for reduced or negative IgE-binding activity. A plant gene expression system comprising a DNA construct placed operably under the control of a promoter sequence that confers seed-specific expression is also disclosed for the expression of the modified proteins. The Brazil nut 2S sulfur-rich protein was exemplified. The method disclosed herein is particularly useful for the production of dietary proteins with improved nutritional quality and reduced or negative allergenicity for human and animal consumption through genetic engineering.

The invention provides a production method and application of special dietary protein. A protease protein sequence from bacillus is used as a template, phenylalanine is knocked out and replaced, and part of amino acids is rearranged, so that it is ensured that phenylalanine-free protein has protease specific activity in the fermentation process, and other impure protein is degraded or growth of other impure protein is inhibited; a fed-batch fermentation process is adopted, so that the logarithmic growth period of a strain is prolonged, and the protein expression index is increased; besides, apost-treatment process is optimized, and the obtained protein powder is high in purity and good in mouth feel. The ratio of LNAA to Phe in the obtained recombinant phenylalanine-free protein exceeds 100 times, so that the situation that phenylalanine in blood enters the brain can be effectively reduced. According to the method, the production cost of the phenylalanine-free or low-phenylalanine protein powder can be reduced to reach the cost of a common protein product, and the protein powder has great practical application value and broad market prospects.
