Use of stable isotopic dilution to assess protein digestibility from Faba bean and to evaluate amino acid bioavailability

Each participant will receive a test meal containing 13C labelled spirulina, 2H labelled Fava bean and 13C phenylalanine. The test meal will be divided on 11 subdoses: 3 sub-doses will be administrated at T0 and 1 subdose will be administrated at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7h. The remaining sub-dose will be kept for measurement of IAA in the test meal. After eating the test meal, blood, urine and breath samples will be collected from each participant at the baseline (T0) and after 5-6, 7h and 8h.
