Development of the measuring kit for personal energy absorption rate from foods

适当的能量摄入对保持身体健康非常重要。然而，食物的能量吸收率因人而异。在这项研究中，我试图开发用于测量食物能量吸收率的人工底物。以加工后的乳清蛋白产品为主要底物，添加盐、菜籽油。加热凝胶化后，用大鼠观察其消化性能。通过改变胶凝条件，可以控制底物的消化率。接下来，我检查了三名女性志愿者的底物消化率。四种底物中的一种，用量热计测定了其消化率和能量吸收率之间的良好相关性。

Appropriate energy intake is very important for health maintenance. However energy absorption rates from foods are different between individuals. In this study I tried to develop the artificial substrate for measuring energy absorption rate from foods. The processed whey protein product was used as main substrate, and salt, canola oil was added. After gelation by heating, their digestive properties were examined by rats. By changing the gelation conditions, substrate digestibilities could control.Following, I examined substrate digestibilities by three woman volunteers. One of four types of substrates, demonstrated good correlation between it's digestibilities and energy absorption rates that were measured by a calorimeter.
