Abstract
Dietary fiber has an ameliorative effect on the toxicity of amaranth ( Food Red No. 2). To test the possibility that a buckwheat protein extr act (BWPE) has dietary fiber-like activity by virtue of its low digest ibility, we examined the influence of BWPE on amaranth toxicity in rat s. The results show that BWPE-containing diet suppressed the growth de pression induced by the dietary addition of 5% amaranth.
