NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF THE PROTEIN OF COCA LEAF(Erythroxylum coca)The study was designed to search the biological value of the protein contents in the coca leaf (Erythroxylum coca) .To aproach this two protein fractions were isolated from an alkaline coca leaves extract prepared with “tocra” (alkaline substance used with coca for chewing) by precipitating them at two different pH(5.1 and 4.0).After partial purification by extracting solvents (diethyl ether ,acetone and ethanol 96 °) of the mixture of both fractions two Experimental diets with different protein levels (FP COCA 4.5% and FP COCA 9.0%) were prepared. Likewise two casein Control diets (CAS 4.5% and CAS 9.0%) were made. All diets were fed ad libitum for 10 days to groups (n=6-9) of growing rats. Ending this period protein efficiency ratio (PER) liver arginase activity , tissue weights and its protein contents were determined. Results show minor PER index values but major arginase activities in both Experimental groups than in Control groups .In FP COCA 9.0% group , PER 1.4;arginase 63.6 ±14.6 μmoles of ornitina/mg liver protein and in CAS 9.0% group, PER 3.8 ; arginase 51.4 ±9.6 μmoles of ornitina/mg liver protein. Tissue weights were also diminished but its protein contents were similar .These findings suggest that protein of coca leaf given at 9% has some important biological value wich could be improved by supplementation with other proteins. Moreover ,these results prompt also to us to obtein a more purified coca leaf protein for improving its utilization.
