V In the hen a great amoimt of necessary food elements are Stored up in the your of the egg She produces. When the hen is killed for food the liver provides a great amount of the nutrition elements. Cereal grains lhave the greet food value stored in its Kemal- principa`ly in its germ. Fruit trees and fruit bearing shrubs have this stored in its fruit. In lean fish. such as the cod fish, the liver is a wonderful storehouse of a number of the most essentiil food elements. In fat fish. such as Mackerel, herring and eel this is stored up in their flesh. The ox. when slaughtered for food. provides a very rich source of food essentials in its liver. In tubers. such as the potato, the ifood elements are stored in the tuber, which has a., wonderful structure, with each cell comipart- ment so arranged, with each cell .side by side in progressive series in its structure. Each cell com- partment is separated by an in- disccrnabie space. so Ynat each cell is independent from its ad- jacent celi. Thus the potato can be kept in storage under proper conditions for a long time without dct.ci-ioration, But if the potato be frozen and then tiiawed. its starch iroiitciit is converted into sugar in ii rcry short. time by a. ferment ivliicii is pi'c.sent in the potato,,but wliicli is kept. scparatc and apart from the rtarcli granules in the intact potato in its normal state; I"i'eez.ing dsarranges thc struetiire and cellular arrangements, so its component parts are disorganized and become interm‘ngied, resulting in numerous chemical changes in 'its structure. being somewhat [analogous to the disintegration jihat takes nlaee in man after 2 death.. l Qw'ng to this perfect structure and organization of its cell com- iponenfs-the ipotato, with proper ‘atterit/on. can be keipt in storage :for a long period of time without lit undergoing any appreciable de- gpreciation of its contained food values-a most deslreable and verw valuable property, whlcii is j possessed by very few. if any other l food. In order to determine the full food values of the potata, in com- lnar’son with other foods and also l to possess the know'edge how to combine it with other foods, so as to make a fully adequate diet (for no one food is fully complete in itself when used as the sole source of nutrition over a long period of time)-it is necessary in examine minutely in dets‘i each of its con- stituent food elements and the Dart it f'iJ.s in the nutrition of the body. The potato has s. protein content of good quality, containing aibout 2.2 per cent. There are .i. great many kinds of proteins, infact those found inboth theanimai andvegetablearid alsoin i_?fi1l!`iS have all different haracteristies Even in the sarno nimal the rproteins of the various firiznlis Mid tissues differ in their composition. No two species of D C H lants have indentieal proteins. When proteins are digested in - Y decomposed into from 1s to 22 kinds of fragments which have DTODOI' on varies in which the others contain a large amount. In feeding experiments of young growinz pigs 63 per cent of milk protein was converted into pig body protein. while from 'proteins of the whole wheat. under the same conditions. it could convert ‘Oh-ly 28 per cent of it into ,pig body protein. It thus is seen that protein I foods a-re different from protein °UmP0Sing the tissues of the body, and in the undigested state these food proteins cannot be utilised by the body and if placed directly in the blood, they' are rejected by it 3-* 10701811 bodies.
