PREFACE
Cereals belong to the most important elements in the
history of mankind. From the beginning of agriculture, cereals
have been by far the most important staple food in the world.
Although the cereal consumption decreased to a low level in the
developed countries in Europe and North America, in the devel
oping countries over two-thirds of the calorie and protein
intake is based on cereals. A substantial quantity of cereals
goes indirectly into food via feed to animals.
Generally, cereal proteins are classified as proteins of
lower biological value because of shortage in lysine and some
other essential amino acids. Recent developments in the de
termination and evaluation of the biological value of proteins
and protein mixtures suggest that the oversimplified earlier
evaluation of cereal proteins must be reviewed.
This book contains the edited proceedings of the Inter
national Symposium on "Amino Acid Composition and Biological
Value of Cereal Proteins", held in Budapest, Hungary, Hay 31-
June 1, 1983, under the sponsorship of the International
Association for Cereal Chemistry, Hungarian Scientific Society
for Food Industry and Grain Trust, Hungary, with supplemental
invited contributions.
Scientists (biologist, plant breeders, farmers, chemists,
biochemists, engineers, food technologists and nutritionists)
from 17 countries presented and reviewed, along with partici
pants from 20 countries, the recent methodology and trends in
the determination of the biological value of cereal proteins,
v
the amino acid composition of cereal proteins and factors in
fluencing the composition and the role of cereal proteins in
nutrition and animal feeding.
The editors hope that the contribution of well known spe
cialists, working in the different fields related to cereal
science and technology, make the Proceedings a valuable source
of information for agronomists, food scientists and technol
ogists, nutritionists and decision makers interested in the
more effective and widespread use of cereals, cereal proteins
and protein preparations, and in the improvement of the biolo
gical value of cereal proteins, foods and feeds containing
cereal proteins.
The editors are particularly grateful to the staff of the
Akademiai Kiad6, Budapest, Hungary and D. Reidel Publishing
Company, Dordrecht, Holland for the excellent preparation of
this book.

I NTRODUCTI ON
PROGRESS OF GRAIN CULTIVATION AND RESEARCH IN HUNGARY
The temperate climate of Hungary, its soil and its relief
ensure favourable conditions for growing cereals. These basic
fundamentals together with our economic policy made the dynamic
development of our cultivation of grain crops possible. Up to
the seventies, the yield of wheat crops increased by more than
a factor of 2.5 as compared to the yield in the sixties. In
1982 it was 4400 kg/ha, but the record yield achieved in 1980
was 4760 kg/ha. In the period 1976-1980, Hungary took 8-th
place amon9 the wheat-growing countries of the world, or for
average yield 6-th place when considering only the countries
growing wheat on fields above 200 000 ha.
The considerable increase in the yield of wheat in Hungary
is both a result of growing new species with a rich yield, and
of the complex mechanization of agriculture.
The yield of our most important cultivated plant, corn,
was also doubled in the above period of time. Similar results
have been achieved for corn.
The increase in yields in obviously not a unique phenom
enon restricted to Hungary. The change in conditions for
growing wheat can be found allover the world, as is shown by
the increase of the average yields. In the opinion of geneti
cists, this is not yet ~he end of this significant increase;
the biological potential does promise even greater results. It
seems that the yield will be restricted rather by economic
arguments than biological considerations.
