    Study Notes

    Protein and Daily Value

    • Researchers must consider both the quality and quantity of protein when determining the Daily Value percentage.
    • 6 ounces of grains provide 18 grams of protein.
    • 2.5 cups of vegetables contain 10 grams of protein.
    • 3 cups of milk supply 24 grams of protein.
    • 5.5 ounces of protein foods provide 38 grams of protein.
    • These amounts total 90 grams of protein, which is higher than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for most people.
    • The key principle to emphasize is moderation in protein intake.

    Protein Supplements

    • Protein powders are taken by athletes to build muscle, dieters to spare body protein during weight loss, and women to strengthen fingernails.
    • Individuals take individual amino acids to treat herpes, improve sleep, lose weight, and alleviate pain and depression.
    • These supplements do not offer miracles.

    Protein Powders

    • Many athletes consume protein powders shortly after exercising, particularly during resistance training, to stimulate protein synthesis and muscle strength.
    • The impact of this increased protein synthesis on muscle building and performance is not definitively proven.
    • Protein supplements are relatively safe and affordable, contributing to their popularity.

    Amino Acid Supplements

    • Some single amino acid supplements have gained wide use based on recommendations.
    • Lysine: Lysine is recommended for preventing or alleviating herpes infections, such as cold sores. It is typically taken in divided doses with meals, up to 3 grams per day.
    • Tryptophan: To counter depression or insomnia, tryptophan is recommended, with a maximum daily intake of 5 grams.

    Protein Deficiency

    • Kwashiorkor: This condition signifies insufficient protein intake while energy needs are met. Symptoms typically emerge between 12 months and 2 years of age and include edema (swelling) in the legs and abdomen (potbelly), alterations in hair and skin color, liver enlargement, and a compromised immune system.
    • Marasmus: Marasmus involves deficiencies in both protein and energy. Symptoms manifest after 6 months of age and involve muscle wasting without edema.

    Proteins

    • Are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, some also contain sulfur
    • Are needed for bodily functions, including maintaining cells, enzymes and hormones
    • Nonessential amino acids are those the body can produce
    • Essential amino acids are those the body cannot produce and must be consumed through diet

    Amino Acids

    • There are nine essential amino acids that the human body either cannot make at all or cannot make in sufficient quantity to meet its needs.
    • Conditionally Essential Amino Acids: are normally nonessential, but become essential in special circumstances
    • Example: tyrosine becomes a conditionally essential amino acid if the diet fails to supply enough phenylalanine, or if the body cannot make the conversion.

    Protein Structure

    • Primary Structure: determined by the sequence of amino acids, unique for each protein
    • Secondary Structure: determined by weak electrical attraction within polypeptide chains, gives proteins strength and rigidity
    • Tertiary Structure: long polypeptide chains twist and fold into variety of complex, tangled shapes, due to interactions of amino acid groups with surrounding fluids and other amino acids
    • Quaternary Structure: involves the interactions between two or more polypeptides
    • Denaturation: disrupts protein structure and function, resulting in loss of shape and functionality, caused by factors like heat and acid

    Protein Digestion and Absorption

    • Digestion begins in the stomach with hydrochloric acid denaturing proteins and activating pepsin
    • Pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller polypeptides and amino acids
    • In the small intestine, pancreatic and intestinal proteases further hydrolyze polypeptides into amino acids, tripeptides and dipeptides
    • Peptidase enzymes on intestinal cell surfaces break down dipeptides and tripeptides into single amino acids
    • Absorbed amino acids may be used for energy or protein synthesis
    • Undigested amino acids are transported to the liver

    Functions of Proteins

    • Structural Materials: Proteins form the building blocks of muscles, blood and skin, it is a major structural component of all the body's cells
    • Enzymes: Act as catalysts for biochemical reactions like digestion
    • Hormones: Regulate bodily processes, examples include insulin and growth hormone
    • Regulators Of Fluid Balance: Maintain fluid balance, prevent edema by keeping proteins within cells and blood plasma

    Protein Quality

    • High-quality proteins contain all essential amino acids in sufficient amounts, and may or may not contain all nonessential amino acids
    • Low-quality proteins lack some essential amino acids
    • Two factors affect protein quality:
      • Digestibility: affected by the protein source and foods eaten with it, animal proteins are generally more digestible than plant proteins
      • Amino Acid Composition: the types and amounts of amino acids present
    • Limiting Amino Acid: the essential amino acid found in the shortest supply relative to the amounts needed for protein synthesis in the body, can impact protein quality
    • Complementary Proteins: Combining plant-protein foods with different amino acid patterns, can provide all the essential amino acids
    • Reference Protein: A standard used to determine the quality of a food protein based on its amino acid composition with the essential amino acid requirements of preschool-age children.
    • Protein Deficiency: Occurs when the diet lacks essential amino acids, results in slowed growth, impaired brain and kidney functions, poor immunity and inadequate nutrient absorption
    • Heart Disease: High protein intake from animal sources may contribute to heart disease, however, replacing animal with vegetable protein may improve blood pressure and blood lipids
    • Cancer: While protein itself doesn't increase cancer risk, some protein-rich foods may do, processed meats are classified as carcinogenic while legumes, fish and milk may lower cancer risk
    • Adult Bone Loss: High protein intake may increase calcium excretion, potentially impacting bone health, however, the impact may depend on sufficient calcium intake
    • Weight Loss: High protein diets may help with weight loss by promoting satiety
    • Kidney Disease: High protein intake can increase the work of the kidneys, it may accelerate kidney deterioration in people with chronic kidney disease
    • Protein RDA: 0.8 gram per kilogram of healthy body weight per day for adults
    • Protein Food Groups:
      • Seafood - 20% of weekly protein intake
      • Meat, poultry, and eggs - 70% of weekly protein intake
      • Nuts, seeds, and legumes - 10% of weekly protein intake
    • Milk and Milk Products: A cup of milk or yogurt provides about 8 grams of protein
    • Fruits, Vegetables, and Grains: Fruits do not contain protein. Vegetables and grains provide 2-3 grams of protein per serving

    Protein Intake Guidelines

    • The USDA Food Patterns encourage a variety of protein sources
    • Choose lean meats and poultry
    • Include plenty of plant-based protein sources, such as legumes, nuts and seeds
    • Consider protein intake over a week to balance essential amino acid intake

    Daily Value of Protein

    • When the Daily Value percentage is declared, researchers must determine the quality of the protein.
    • The Daily Value percentage for protein reflects both quantity and quality.

    Protein Sources and Intake

    • Six ounces of grains provide about 18 grams of protein.
    • 2.5 cups of vegetables deliver about 10 grams of protein
    • 3 cups of milk offer 24 grams of protein.
    • 5.5 ounces of protein foods supply 38 grams of protein.
    • The total protein from these sources is 90 grams.
    • The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein is lower than the 90 grams provided by these food sources.
    • Most Americans get more than their recommended intake for protein.

    Protein Supplements

    • Protein powders are taken after exercises to build muscle.
    • Diets take protein powders to spare their bodies' protein when losing weight.
    • Women take protein powders to strengthen their fingernails.
    • People take amino acid supplements for purposes such as curing herpes, improving sleep, losing weight, relieving pain and depression, and other health problems.
    • However, these supplements do not provide miracle cures.

    Protein Powders

    • Many athletes take protein powders to build muscle particularly after strength training.
    • Whether these powders actually build muscle and improve performance is unclear.
    • However, they are relatively safe and inexpensive, so they remain popular.

    Amino Acid Supplements

    • Lysine:
      • Lysine supplements, up to 3 grams taken with meals in divided doses, are used to prevent or relieve infections that cause herpes cold sores.
    • Tryptophan:
      • Tryptophan supplements, up to 5 grams per day, are used to relieve depression and insomnia.

    Protein Deficiency

    • Protein deficiency is a serious health condition.
    • There are two main types of protein deficiency: kwashiorkor and marasmus.

    Kwashiorkor

    • Kwashiorkor is a disease caused by insufficient protein intake but not insufficient energy intake.
    • It is characterized by edema (swelling) in the legs and abdomen (potbelly), changes in hair and skin color, liver enlargement, and a weakened immune system.
    • Symptoms usually appear in children between 12 months and 2 years old.

    Marasmus

    • Marasmus is a disease caused by a deficiency in both protein and energy.
    • It is characterized by muscle wasting (atrophy) without edema.
    • Symptoms usually appear in infants after 6 months of age.

    Protein: Amino Acids

    • Proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, with some also containing sulfur.
    • Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, linked together in chains.
    • Nonessential amino acids: The body can make these given nitrogen to help with the amino structure.
    • Essential amino acids: The body cannot make these and must be obtained from the diet. Humans need nine essential amino acids.
    • Conditionally Essential amino acids: Typically nonessential but must be consumed due to the body's inability to produce it in sufficient quantities.
    • Peptide Bond: Connects the acid end of one amino acid to the amino end of another.
    • Primary Structure
      • Determined by the order of amino acids.
      • Each amino acid is a stepping stone in the polypeptide.
      • Amino acid sequencing within proteins varies.
    • Secondary Structure
      • Determined by weak electrical attractions between polypeptide chains.
      • Positive hydrogen attracts negative oxygen.
      • Provides strength and rigidity.
    • Tertiary Structure
      • Long polypeptide chains twist and fold in complex shapes.
      • Amino acid side groups determine attraction or repulsion to surrounding fluids and other amino acids.
      • Hydrophilic amino acid side groups are attracted to water molecules.
      • Hydrophobic amino acid side groups are repelled by water molecules.
    • Quaternary Structure
      • Interactions between two or more polypeptides.
      • Hemoglobin, which carries oxygen, has four polypeptide chains, each containing an iron atom.
    • Protein Denaturation
      • The structure is disrupted by heat, acid, or other conditions.
      • Tertiary, secondary, and quaternary structures are lost.
      • Proteins lose their functionality.
      • Examples: cooking an egg, curdling of milk, stiffening of egg whites.
    • Digestion and Absorption of Proteins
      • Proteins in foods don't directly become body proteins.
      • The body breaks down proteins into amino acids.
      • Stomach: Hydrochloric acid denatures proteins, allowing enzymes to break down peptide bonds. Pepsinogen is activated to pepsin.
      • Small Intestine: Pancreatic and intestinal proteases further break down proteins into smaller chains, tripeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids. Peptidase enzymes on the intestinal cell membranes split the tripeptides and dipeptides into individual amino acids.
    • Absorption of Proteins
      • Amino acids and some dipeptides and tripeptides are transported across intestinal cell membranes into the bloodstream.
      • Amino acids can be used for energy or synthesis within the intestinal cells.
      • Unused amino acids are transported into surrounding fluid and then capillaries to the liver.
    • Eating predgested proteins (amino acid supplements): Not better than whole proteins as the digestive system is meant to breakdown whole proteins.
    • Roles of Proteins
      • Structural Materials: Proteins form the building blocks of muscles, blood, and skin. It is the main structural component of all cells.
      • Enzymes: Digestive enzymes are proteins.
      • Hormones: Hormones are proteins that regulate body processes.
      • Regulators of Fluid Balance: Proteins help maintain the fluid balance of the body.
      • Protein-related causes of edema: Excessive protein losses from inflammation, critical illnesses, inadequate protein synthesis from liver disease, and inadequate dietary intake of proteins.
    • Protein in Foods
      • Protein Quality: Determines growth in children and overall health in adults.
      • Factors Influencing Protein Quality: Protein's digestibility and amino acid composition.
      • Digestibility: Ranges from 90-99% for animal proteins and 70-90% for plant proteins, except for soy and legumes, which are higher.
      • Amino Acid Composition: The liver can make any nonessential amino acid, so protein is needed to supply essential amino acids.
      • Reference Protein: Used to determine the quality of food protein by comparing its amino acid composition to essential amino acid requirements for young children.
      • Limiting Amino Acid: The essential amino acid found in the shortest supply relative to the amount needed for protein synthesis.
      • High-Quality Proteins: Contain all essential amino acids in the proportions that humans need. Animal proteins are typically high quality, except for gelatin.
      • Low-Quality Proteins: Plant proteins have more diverse amino acid patterns and tend to be limiting in one or more essential amino acids, though some are high quality like soy proteins.
      • Complementary Proteins: Combining plant-based proteins with different amino acid profiles to obtain all essential amino acids.

    Protein Digestion

    • Proteins are broken down into amino acids through digestion in the stomach and small intestine.
    • Enzymes play a critical role in breaking down proteins into individual amino acids.
    • Hydrochloric acid plays a key role in protein digestion by uncoiling protein strands and activating pepsin.
    • Pepsin, an enzyme produced in the stomach, breaks down proteins into smaller polypeptides.
    • In the small intestine: pancreatic enzymes further digest polypeptides into smaller chains, tripeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids.
    • Peptidase enzymes digest tripeptides and dipeptides into single amino acids, with only a few peptides entering the blood intact.

    Protein Absorption

    • Amino acids are transported across the intestinal cell membrane into the bloodstream, where they travel to the liver.
    • The liver can use absorbed amino acids for energy production or biosynthesis of necessary compounds.
    • Consuming predigested proteins (amino acid supplements) is not recommended as the body handles whole proteins more efficiently.

    Protein Roles

    • Structural Materials: Proteins build and maintain muscles, blood, and skin, forming the foundation of all cells.
    • Enzymes: Act as catalysts for various biochemical reactions throughout the body.
    • Hormones: Regulate body processes.
    • Fluid Balance: Proteins help maintain fluid balance by drawing water into the bloodstream, preventing edema (swelling).
    • Transport: Proteins carry vital substances such as oxygen and nutrients through the bloodstream.
    • Immune Function: Antibodies, a type of protein, play a critical role in the immune system.
    • Energy: Proteins can be used as an energy source, but their primary role is structural.

    Determining Protein Quality

    • Two key factors influence protein quality:
      • Digestibility: How efficiently the body can break down and absorb a specific protein.
      • Amino Acid Composition: The types and proportions of amino acids present in a protein.

    Protein Quality

    • Animal proteins: Generally, more digestible than plant proteins.
    • Plant proteins: Can be less digestible, but some legumes like soybeans are exceptions.
    • Limiting amino acid: The essential amino acid present in the lowest amount relative to the body's needs.
    • High-quality proteins: Provide all essential amino acids in proportions required for optimal human health.

    Complementary proteins

    • Combining plant proteins that contain different amino acid profiles can create a complete protein that supplies all essential amino acids.

    Health Effects and Recommendations

    • Protein does not seem to increase the risk of cancer, although certain protein-rich foods like processed meats are associated with higher cancer risk.
    • The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies processed meat as a carcinogen and red meat as a probable carcinogen.
    • Soy protein may offer protection against breast cancer, but not endometrial cancer.
    • Protein intake and bone health:
      • High protein intake may increase calcium excretion, but the effect on bone health depends on calcium intake.
      • Adequate calcium is important for bone health, even with high protein intake.

    Protein and Weight Management

    • High-protein diets can lead to weight loss due to their lower calorie content and ability to increase feelings of fullness.
    • Diets emphasizing moderate amounts of high-quality protein at each meal might optimize protein synthesis and muscle health.

    Protein and Kidney Disease

    • High protein intake increases the workload on the kidneys, but it does not cause kidney disease.
    • In individuals with chronic kidney disease, restricting dietary protein, particularly red meat, can slow the progression of the disease.
    • Adults require 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of healthy body weight per day.
    • Infants and children have higher protein requirements.
    • The average protein intake in the United States is 80 grams per day.
    • Some research suggests slightly higher protein intake might be beneficial, especially for older adults.
    • To ensure adequate intake, aim for 25-35 grams of high-quality protein with each meal.

    From Guidelines to Groceries

    • Protein Foods:
      • An ounce of protein-rich food provides approximately 7 grams of protein.
      • The USDA Food Patterns encourage a variety of protein sources over the week:
        • 20% from seafood
        • 70% from meat, poultry and eggs
        • 10% from nuts, seeds and legumes
    • Milk and Milk Products: Also provide significant protein quantities per serving.

    Proteins and Amino Acids

    • Proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, arranged into amino acids linked in a chain.
    • Some amino acids also contain sulfur atoms
    • The human body can make nonessential amino acids (dispensable amino acids) given nitrogen and fragments from fats or carbohydrates.
    • Essential amino acids (indispensable amino acids) must be obtained from the diet because the body cannot make them.
    • Nine essential amino acids are needed by the human body
    • A conditionally essential amino acid is an amino acid that is normally nonessential but must be supplied by the diet in special circumstances.
    • An example of a conditionally essential amino acid is tyrosine - the body normally uses phenylalanine to make tyrosine, if the diet lacks phenylalanine or the body cannot make the change (like in the disorder phenylketonuria) then tyrosine becomes conditionally essential.
    • Condensation reactions create peptide bonds between amino acids to form a dipeptide.
    • The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids along the polypeptide chain.
    • The 20 different amino acids can be arranged in any sequence, and therefore form a wide variety of proteins.
    • Protein digestion begins in the stomach using hydrochloric acid and pepsin which breaks proteins into smaller polypeptide chains.
    • Pepsinogen is converted to its active form, pepsin, by hydrochloric acid.
    • In the small intestine, pancreatic and intestinal proteases further break down polypeptides into shorter chains, tripeptides, dipeptides, and amino acids.
    • Peptidase enzymes on the intestinal cell membranes split most dipeptides and tripeptides into single amino acids.
    • Specific carriers transport amino acids into intestinal cells.
    • Amino acids can be used for energy or synthesized into needed compounds within the intestinal cells.
    • Excess amino acids are transported across the cell membrane into the surrounding fluid and then into the capillaries on their way to the liver.

    Protein Quality

    • Combining different protein foods at a meal can create a "complete protein", meaning it has all the essential amino acids in the optimal ratio.
    • For most healthy vegetarians, combining proteins at each meal is not necessary, as long as protein intake is varied throughout each day.

    Protein Deficiency

    • Protein deficiency is caused by too little dietary protein or by a lack of essential amino acids.
    • In protein deficiency, the synthesis of body proteins decreases and degradation increases to provide cells with the amino acids they need.
    • This can lead to slowed growth, impaired brain and kidney function, poor immunity, and inadequate nutrient absorption.

    Excess Protein Intake

    • Excess protein intake has been linked to heart disease, especially if the protein comes from animal sources.
    • Many people in developed countries consume more protein than they need.
    • The average intake of protein in the United States is 80 grams per day, while the recommended intake is 50-175 grams per day depending on individual needs.
    • Moderate amounts of high-quality protein at each meal (25-35 grams) may better support protein synthesis and muscle health.

    Protein RDA

    • The protein RDA for adults is 0.8 grams per kilogram of healthy body weight per day.
    • The RDA is slightly higher for infants and children.

    Protein Food Groups

    • An ounce of most protein foods delivers about 7 grams of protein.
    • The USDA Food Patterns suggest the following breakdown for protein sources:
      • 20% seafood
      • 70% meat, poultry, and eggs
      • 10% nuts, seeds, and legumes
    • One serving (a cup) of milk or yogurt provides about 8 grams of protein.
    • Fruits do not contain protein.
    • A serving of vegetables provides 2-3 grams of protein.
    • A serving of grains provides 2-3 grams of protein.
    • Food labels should state the total protein in grams per serving.
    • The "Percent Daily Value" for protein is required on food labels that make a protein claim or are intended for children under 4 years old.

    Protein Supplements

    • Protein powders are commonly used by athletes, dieters, and those looking to enhance their nail health.
    • Individual amino acids are also marketed to cure herpes, improve sleep, aid in weight loss, and relieve pain and depression.
    • Protein and amino acid supplements are popular but do not offer miraculous health benefits.
    • Protein powders may be helpful for athletes who engage in resistance training but the evidence is not conclusive.

    The Chemist’s View of Proteins

    • Proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms, arranged into amino acids linked in a chain.
    • Some amino acids also contain sulfur atoms.
    • Nonessential amino acids are dispensable, meaning the body can make them.
    • The body's synthesis of nonessential amino acids requires nitrogen to form the amino group and fragments from carbohydrate or fat to form the rest of the structure.

    Amino Acids

    • Essential amino acids are indispensable, meaning the body requires them from diet.
    • The human body either cannot make nine essential amino acids at all or cannot make them in sufficient quantity.

    Conditionally Essential Amino Acids

    • A conditionally essential amino acid is normally nonessential but becomes essential under specific circumstances.
    • The body normally uses the essential amino acid phenylalanine to make tyrosine.
    • If the diet fails to supply enough phenylalanine, or the body cannot make the conversion, tyrosine becomes a conditionally essential amino acid.

    Condensation of Two Amino Acids to Form a Dipeptide

    • Condensation reactions connect amino acids together to form a dipeptide.
    • A peptide bond connects the acid end of one amino acid with the amino end of another, forming a link in a protein chain.

    Primary Structure—Amino Acid Sequence

    • The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids.
    • Each amino acid in a polypeptide chain is one of 20 different amino acids.
    • Amino acid sequences within proteins vary.
    • If an essential amino acid is missing, cells must dismantle their own proteins to obtain it.
    • To prevent protein breakdown, dietary protein must supply all nine essential amino acids plus enough nitrogen-containing amino groups and energy for the synthesis of nonessential amino acids.

    Protein in Foods

    • The quality of a food protein is determined by comparing its amino acid composition with the essential amino acid requirements of preschool-age children.
    • This standard is called a reference protein.
    • Limiting amino acid refers to the essential amino acid found in shortest supply relative to the amounts needed for protein synthesis.
    • Lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan are limiting amino acids.

    High-Quality Proteins

    • A high-quality protein contains all the essential amino acids in relatively the same amounts and proportions as human needs.
    • Proteins low in an essential amino acid cannot support protein synthesis on their own.
    • Animals sources (meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, and milk) provide high-quality proteins except gelatin.

    High-Quality Proteins Continued

    • Plant-derived proteins have more diverse amino acid patterns and tend to be limiting in one or more essential amino acids.
    • Some plant proteins, such as corn protein, are notoriously low quality, while others, like soy protein, are high quality.

    Complementary Proteins

    • Plant proteins are lower quality than animal proteins, and plants also offer less protein.
    • Vegetarians improve the quality of protein in their diets by combining plant-protein foods that have complementary amino acid patterns.
    • This combination creates complementary proteins containing all the essential amino acids in sufficient quantities.
    • The protein quality of the combination is greater than either food alone.
    • Balancing amino acids at each meal is not necessary if protein intake is varied and energy intake is sufficient.
    • Protein deficiency develops when the diet consistently supplies too little protein or lacks essential amino acids.
    • When protein deficiency occurs, the synthesis of body proteins decreases, and degradation increases to provide cells with amino acids.
    • Consequences of protein deficiency include slowed growth, impaired brain and kidney functions, poor immunity, and inadequate nutrient absorption.

    Heart Disease

    • Protein is so abundant in the United States that problems of excess are more common than deficiency.
    • A high-protein diet may contribute to the progression of heart disease depending on the food source.
    • Replacing animal protein with vegetable protein (legumes and nuts) and using low-fat milk, poultry, and fish may improve blood pressure, blood lipids, and decrease heart disease mortality.

    Heart Disease Continued

    • Elevated homocysteine in heart disease is unclear in its role as a risk factor, but it may be a marker for free radical oxidation.
    • Lowering homocysteine using B vitamin supplements, especially folate, does not seem to lower the risks of heart attacks, strokes, or sudden death.
    • Arginine may help protect against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and preventing blood clots.
    • Restricting dietary protein, especially red meat, helps slow the progression of kidney disease.
    • The body continuously breaks down and loses some protein, and it cannot store proteins or amino acids.
    • The body needs dietary protein to replace lost protein and obtain essential amino acids.
    • Dietary protein is the most practical source of nitrogen for building nonessential amino acids and other nitrogen-containing compounds.
    • Protein should constitute 10 to 35 percent of total food energy.
    • In a 2000-kcalorie diet, that represents 200 to 700 kcalories from protein, or 50 to 175 grams.
    • The average intake in the United States is 80 grams per day.
    • Some research suggests that an intake slightly higher than current recommendations may be beneficial, especially for older adults.
    • Including moderate amounts (25–35 grams) of high-quality protein at each meal may best support protein synthesis and muscle health.

    Protein RDA

    • The protein RDA for adults is 0.8 gram per kilogram of healthy body weight per day.
    • For infants and children, the RDA is slightly higher.

    From Guidelines to Groceries

    • An ounce of most protein foods delivers about 7 grams of protein.
    • The USDA Food Patterns encourage a variety of protein sources.
    • Over a week’s time, the total recommended intake of protein foods should be about 20% seafood, 70% meat, poultry, and eggs, and 10% nuts, seeds, and legumes.

    Milk and Milk Products

    • The only other food group to provide significant amounts of protein per serving is the milk and milk products group.
    • A serving (a cup) of milk or yogurt provides about 8 grams of protein.

    Fruits, Vegetables, and Grains

    • Fruits do not contain protein.
    • A serving of vegetables provides 2-3 grams of protein, and a serving of grain provides 2-3 grams.

    Read Food Labels

    • Food labels state the quantity of protein in grams.
    • The “% Daily Value” for protein is not mandatory on all labels but is required whenever a food makes a protein claim or is intended for children younger than 4 years old.
    • When the Daily Value percentage is declared, researchers must determine the quality of the protein.
    • The % Daily Value for protein reflects both quantity and quality.

    Read Food Labels Continued

    • Six ounces of grains provide about 18 grams of protein; 2½ cups of vegetables deliver about 10 grams; 3 cups of milk offer 24 grams; and 5½ ounces of protein foods supply 38 grams.
    • This totals 90 grams of protein - higher than the protein RDA for most people.
    • People in the United States typically get more protein than they need.
    • The key diet-planning principle to emphasize for protein is moderation.

    Protein and Amino Acid Supplements

    • Protein powders are taken by athletes to build muscle, dieters to spare their bodies' protein, and women to strengthen fingernails.
    • Individual amino acids are taken for various reasons, including curing herpes, improving sleep, weight loss, relieving pain, and alleviating depression.
    • Protein and amino acid supplements do not offer miracles.
    • The body builds muscle protein from amino acids.

    Protein Powders

    • Athletes frequently take protein powders after exercising, especially after resistance training, to promote protein synthesis and muscle strength.
    • Whether this enhanced protein synthesis actually builds muscle or improves performance is unclear.
    • Protein supplements remain popular, as they are relatively safe and inexpensive.

    Analytical Chemistry

    • Analytical chemistry deals with characterizing the composition of matter, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
    • It involves identifying the types of substances present and how much of each there is.
    • The field focuses on improving experimental design, developing new measurement tools to provide better chemical information, and applying mathematical and statistical methods to analyze data (chemometrics).
    • It has applications in forensics, bioanalysis, clinical analysis, environmental analysis, and materials analysis.

    Constituent Analysis

    • A constituent is a component of a sample.
    • A major constituent corresponds to 1-100% of the sample.
    • A minor constituent corresponds to 0.01-1% of the sample.
    • A trace constituent is present in a very small amount, below 0.01%.

    Quantitative Analysis

    • Refers to determining the amount of a specific substance (analyte) present in a sample.
    • A sample is a limited quantity intended to represent a larger amount of the same material.
    • The analytes are the components of interest in the sample.
    • The remaining parts of the sample are termed the matrix.
    • A procedure specifies the written instructions for applying a method to a particular sample.
    • Techniques are chemical or physical principles used for analysis while a method is the application of a technique to a specific analyte in a particular matrix.
    • A technique or reaction is specific if it works for only one analyte.
    • A technique or reaction is selective if it works for only a few analytes.

    Steps in a Typical Quantitative Analysis

    • Select a method: Choosing a method based on desired accuracy, reliability, time constraints, cost, and sample complexity.
    • Sampling: Acquiring a representative sample, which is crucial for mass products.
    • Sample preparation and handling: This involves dissolving or digesting samples, avoiding decomposition, and preparing solid samples by grinding them to a suitable particle size for homogeneity.
    • Define replicate samples: Replicate samples are portions of the same material carried through the analytical procedure at the same time to ensure accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
    • Eliminating interferences: An interference is a species that affects the measurement by enhancing or attenuating (reducing) the analyte's signal. Blanks are used for control.
    • Calibration and measurement: Calibration is a process to establish the exact relationship between the measured property and the desired property using a calibration curve (typically y=mX+b).
    • Calculation and data reduction: Determining the relationship between the measured property and the desired property.
    • Evaluating results and estimating reliability: Statistical methods are used to evaluate the reliability, as an analytical result without an estimate of reliability is of no value.

    Types of Analysis

    • Qualitative analysis: Determines the identity of the chemical species in a sample.
    • Quantitative analysis: Determines the amount of one or more components in the sample.
    • Fundamental analysis: Improves an analytical method's capabilities.
