Changes in the crude fiber content of the American diet.
The intake of crude fiber in the American diet was assessed for 7 time periods between 1909 and 1975 using food consumption and composition tables. Crude fiber intake dropped 28% from 6.8 g/day in 1909 to 4.9 g/day in 1957 to 1959 and has remained at that level until the present. The intake of fiber from vegetables has remained relatively constant from 1909 to 1975 while potatoes, fruit, cereals, dry peas, and dry bean consumption have declined. The trends shown for crude fiber consumption in the United States support the hypothesis that fiber intake has decreased coincidentally with increases in degenerative diseases.

Interlaboratory study of acid orange 12 dye binding for measuring protein in meat.
Six samples of beef and pork were analyzed by 4 laboratories, using the dye binding method. Dye binding protein was calculated by using a dye binding capacity of meat of 0.410 mg dye bound/g protein. Correlations of 0.976, 0.987, 0.996, and 0.995 were found between dye binding and Kjeldahl protein values. An analysis of covariance showed that the slopes of regression between dye binding and Kjeldahl protein for 3 laboratories were not significantly different at the 5% level. The adjusted means of the regression lines for the same 3 laboratories were significantly different at the 1% level. The results show that 3 of the laboratories were finding the same relationship between dye binding and Kjeldahl protein but were not in calibration with one another.
