In 1927, the All-Union Conference on public food service was held in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR).
It was intended to methodically guide research in the field of nutrition throughout the Soviet Union[1] The Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR was formed in 1944.
Thereafter, the Institute of Nutrition became the section of the academy responsible for hygiene, microbiology and epidemiology.
Since then, the Institute of Nutrition has been led by prominent Soviet and Russian scientists including M.F.
Sharpenak, who studied protein metabolism, has made a definite contribution to the understanding of the indispensability of some amino acids and their optimum balance.
