Although introduction of amino acid chelates in mineral nutrition initially met considerable skepticism and controversy, the greater absorption and bioavailability of amino acid chelated minerals compared to nonchelated minerals have been well-documented for decades. Amino Acid Chelation in Human and Animal Nutrition compiles published chemical, nu

Encompasses a comprehensive coverage of basic to applied concepts in amino acid metabolism in humans and other animals.

Het belang van chelaten bij de opname van mineralen wordt in dit boek onderstreept. Van de 40 elementen in planten, blijken er 25 essentieel te zijn voor de plantenvoeding. Deze elementen worden beschreven, waarbij methoden tot vergroting van de beschikbaarheid van deze elementen voor planten aan de orde komen met het oog op een verbeterde plantenkwaliteit en gewasproduktie. Proeven zijn gedaan bij fruitbomen, sojabonen, granen en wijnstokken
