Abstract
The proteinous material of the present invention, which comprises partially decomposed but not thermally denatured fish proteins consisting of 20% or less of those having a molecular weight of more than 100,000, 20 to 50% of those having a molecular weight of 100,000 to 40,000, 20 to 50% of those having a molecular weight of 40,000 to 14,000 and 20% or less of those having a molecular weight of less than 14,000, contains large amounts of, for example, methionine and lysine in its amino acid composition, in particular in essential amino acid composition. Thus it is superior in nutritive value to vegetable proteins which contain smaller amounts of those amino acids. Further it is highly digestible by man and animals.
