[The level of available methionine and the biological value of fish protein].

Food value of fish protein in fish canning was evaluated biologically and chemically (by available methionine). High-temperature sterilization (126 degrees) proved the least adequate for it causes the greatest loss in the protein food value. The chemical method by available methionine showing close correlation with biological techniques (NPU and PER rates) is thought demonstrative and convenient for technological control in fish processing industry.
