The nutritional quality of lupins (Lupinus mutabilis) for infants and children was evaluated in two sets of balance studies. In the first the digestibility and protein quality of diets based on lupin flour, with and without methionine supplementation, were compared with those of a control diet consisting of casein, sucrose and vegetable oil. Apparent nitrogen absorption from lupin flour (81.8 and 84.3% of intake) was slightly but significantly less than that during casein control periods (87.2 and 86.8% of intake, P less than 0.05 and less than 0.001). Apparent nitrogen retention from unsupplemented lupin (15.6 +/- 5.8% of intake) was significantly less than that from casein in the corresponding control periods (29.8 +/- 4.9%, P less than 0.001); a small but significant (P less than 0.05) increase in nitrogen retention was observed during the control period following the lupin diet when compared with that preceding it. Methionine supplementation of lupin produced a marked improvement in apparent nitrogen retention (to 22.2 +/- 6.9%, P less than 0.05). In the second set of studies the digestibility of lupin oil was compared with that of a blend of soybean and cottonseed oils (50:50). Excretion of fecal fat (9.8 +/- 3.0% of intake) and fecal energy (6.7 +/- 1.2% of intake) with the diet containing lupin oil were similar to those observed with the control diet. Both the protein quality and oil digestibility of Lupinus mutabilis are very similar to those from soybeans processed in a similar manner. For certain countries the lupin could be a valuable source of protein and edible oil for human consumption.
通过两组平衡研究评估了羽扇豆（多变化羽扇豆）对婴幼儿和儿童的营养质量。在第一组研究中，将添加和不添加蛋氨酸的羽扇豆粉日粮的消化率和蛋白质质量，与由酪蛋白、蔗糖和植物油组成的对照日粮进行了比较。羽扇豆粉的表观氮吸收率（摄入量的81.8%和84.3%）略低于酪蛋白对照期（摄入量的87.2%和86.8%，P<0.05和<0.001），但差异显著。未添加蛋氨酸的羽扇豆的表观氮保留率（摄入量的15.6±5.8%）显著低于相应对照期酪蛋白的表观氮保留率（29.8±4.9%，P<0.001）；与羽扇豆日粮之前的对照期相比，羽扇豆日粮之后的对照期氮保留率有小幅但显著（P<0.05）的增加。添加蛋氨酸的羽扇豆显著提高了表观氮保留率（至22.2±6.9%，P<0.05）。在第二组研究中，将羽扇豆油的消化率与大豆油和棉籽油（50:50）的混合物进行了比较。含羽扇豆油日粮的粪便脂肪排泄量（摄入量的9.8±3.0%）和粪便能量排泄量（摄入量的6.7±1.2%）与对照日粮相似。多变化羽扇豆的蛋白质质量和油消化率与以类似方式加工的大豆非常相似。对于某些国家而言，羽扇豆可能是人类食用蛋白质和食用油的宝贵来源。
