Casein was hydrolyzed to different degrees (18%, 40%, 60%) through the selective use of pancreatic enzymes under conditions which minimize any destruction of amino acid patterns. It was found that the nitrogen balance indexes and the protein efficiency values of the hydrolysates remained essentially identical with those of the undigested protein.
