What this Trial Is About
The goal of the project is to determine the protein quality of alternative protein sources, honey chlorella and Faba bean, ingested as mixed meals in healthy subjects equipped with naso-ileal tube. For this purpose, Chlorella and Faba bean are intrinsically labelled with 15N. Faba bean is processed to produce a meat analogue. Chlorella is introduced in a drink. The protein quality is determined by following the digestive and metabolic fate of 15N during a 8h postprandial investigation.
