The nutritive value of zein, rapeseed 12S and α‐casein was assessed by apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) and net protein ratio (NPR). Protein fractions were suspended (100 g litre −1 ) in 0.1M HCl or in water and autoclaved for 1 h. The degree of deamidisation following acid autoclaving was 14.0% for zein, 7.3% for rapeseed 12S and 8.9% for α‐casein. Results indicate that autoclaving in water or in HCl improved the ADC of zein and rapeseed 12S. However, acid autoclaving increased ( P <0.05) the NPR of rapeseed 12S (from 3.07 to 3.44) whereas it decreased ( P <0.05) that of α‐casein (from 4.21 to 3.57).
