SALMON FOUND TO BE
NATURAL SOURCE OF
HEALTH VITAMINS
Nutritive values of canned sal
mon are highlighted in an art
icle in the current Journal of Am
erican Pharmaceutical Associa
tion by Arthur W. Steers and
Louis Fischer of the University
of Washington.
The article deals with the first
year’s work in a study of the ef
fects of long storage periods on
food and health values of canned
salmon. The current paper is an
| extension of a report delivered
by the two scientists to the an
inual convention of the associa
tion in Atlanta last fall, and deals
j with the vitamin content of oil [
j from canned salmon.
^ Describing the study of keep
I ing qualities of canned salmon
; nutritive elements which is in
! progress at the University of
I Washington, the report says:
j “The world’s output (oof can-;
1 ned salmon) during the last ten
(years has reached an annual
: average of over ten and a half
million cases. Every year a por
■ tion of the paok is stored and a
greater part sold prior to the ar
rival of the new pack. It is of
j immense interest to know if the
product undergoes any changes
during this period. This led to
the study which is in progsess
of the effects of storage upon the
j oil in canned salmon.”
The present report, which in
cludes work done during the first
year of a projected three year j
study covers the vitamin A and
D values of canned salmon.
Vitamin A, which is important
in aiding the body to guard
against infection, and also is im
portant to good eyesight, was
i found in canned salmon but in
' rather limited quantities. While
canned salmon adds this vita
min to the diet it is not a suf
ficent source.
The vitamin D content of the
salmon assayed at 80 units which
is very high and establishes can
ned salmon one of the best nat
ural food sources of ths vitamin.
I
Vitamin D is important in aid
ing digestion, and helping in the
building of strong bones and
sound teeth.
