Summary
Postprandial [15N]-labeled pea protein absorption and exogenous nitrogen retention were evaluated in humans. The true gastro-ileal absorption of pea protein was 89.4 ± 1.1%, and pea nitrogen retention represented 78% of the absorbed dietary nitrogen. These results demonstrate the good true nitrogen digestibility and retention of pea protein in humans.
