A direct and simultaneous HPLC/UV determination of methionine and methionine sulfoxide in enzyme-hydrolyzed milk proteins is described. Protein hydrolysis is accomplished by a three-enzyme (pronase, leucine aminopeptidase, prolidase) 20-h/37 degrees C digestion. A gradient elution reversed-phase HPLC system with UV detection at 214 nm and 280 nm is then used to determine the quantitative releases of methionine sulfoxide, methionine, tyrosine, and tryptophan.

Objective: To evaluate growth, tolerance and plasma biochemistries in infants fed an experimental rice protein-based infant formula.

Design: Randomized, blinded, 16 week parallel feeding trial of 65 healthy infants fed either an experimental partially hydrolyzed rice protein-based infant formula fortified with lysine and threonine (RPF, n = 32), or a standard intact cow's milk protein-based formula (CMF, n = 33) as a control. Assessments occurred at enrollment (average 2 days), 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks of age.
