 The recommended dietary intake of protein for an Indian adult is Correct Answer 1 gm per kg body weight

Concept:

  • For the Indian population, the dietary standards have been computed by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
  • These recommendations have been published as "Nutrient Requirements and Recommended Dietary Allowances for Indians" (ICMR 2010)
  • The recommendations are constantly revised whenever new data is available.
  • The last recommendations were revised in 2010, based on the new guidelines of the International Joint FAO/WHO/UNU Consultative Group and based on the data on Indians that had accumulated after 1989 recommendations
  • The RDA for Indians is presented for the different age categories: 0-6 months, 7 to 12 months, 1 – 3 years, 4 – 6 years, 7 – 9 years, 10 – 12 years, 13 – 15 years,16 – 18 years, adult men and women.

Phytase, an enzyme produced by Aspergillus niger can be adsorbed on microcrystalline cellulose powder (MCCP). The adsorption follows a Langmuir isotherm and the maximum concentration of the protein that can be obtained on the adsorbent is 70 mg cm-1. At a concentration of 50 mg L-1 of protein in the solution, the concentration of protein on the adsorbent reaches 35 mg cm-1. It is desired to recover 90% of the protein from 1.5 liter of the cell free culture filtrate containing 220 mg L-1 protein by addition of MCCP to the solution. The concentration of the protein adsorbed on the solid at equilibrium will be:
