Here I present: Thomas Burr Osborne, “The Vegetable Proteins”, 1909, PART TWO (2). INTRODUCTION. Thomas Burr Osborne was a biochemist at Yale University that studied “vegetable protein” in 1909. It was understood that protein digestion resulted in amino acids. Wilbur Atwater in 1902 had determined the “caloric starvation” number of calories in man. Kwashiorkor is … Continue reading Thomas Burr Osborne, “The Vegetable Proteins”, 1909, PART TWO (2).

SUMMARY. Thomas Burr Osborne (1859 – 1929) was a biochemist who spent his career at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.
Thomas Burr Osborne with Lafayette Mendel, independently discovered Vitamin A, though Elmer McCollum and Marguerite Davis were ultimately given credit, as they had submitted their paper first by three weeks.
Thomas Burr Osborne is known for his work isolating and characterizing seed proteins, and for determining human protein nutrition.

COMMENTS.
Kwashiorkor is the term for “protein starvation” first coined in 1935 by Doctor Cicely Williams.
Kwashiorkor is “protein starvation” and should not be confused with “caloric starvation” studied by Wilbur Atwater in 1902. Thomas Burr Osbourne’s (1859-1929) studies allowed for clear distinction of protein-deficiency versus caloric-deficiency.
Today, everyone can see on the labels of any food what is the caloric and protein (RDA) recommended daily allowance. However, most people never heard of Wilbur Atwater and Thomas Burr Osborne.
The essential amino acids (EAA) are L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, L-Lysine HCl, L-Threonine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Methionine, L-Histidine HCl, and L-Tryptophan; and, Thomas Burr Osbourneis famous for EAA (essential amino acids).
