Popis: BACKGROUND In general, pulse protein is limiting in the indispensable amino acid methionine, and antinutritional factors in pulses can affect methionine bioavailability. Complementation with grains such as rice can improve pulse protein quality, but knowledge of methionine bioavailability in pulses and grains is necessary to correct for available methionine when planning and assessing dietary protein intake. OBJECTIVES The study objectives were to determine the bioavailability of methionine in rice and chickpeas separately and to assess the effect of complementation of chickpeas and rice. METHODS Eleven healthy young men (
