2. Lysine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysine

   Lysine (symbol Lys or K) [2] is an α-amino acid that is a precursor to many proteins.It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH + 3 form when dissolved in water), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form when dissolved in water), and a side chain lysyl ((CH 2) 4 NH 2), classifying it as a basic, charged (at physiological pH), aliphatic ...

3. Essential amino acids in plant food - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_amino_acids_in...

   As such it is essential that these amino acids be supplied by the organism's diet. In case of humans there are 9 EAAs: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. [ 1 ] EAAs are provided in both animal and plant-based food. The EAAs in plants vary greatly due to the vast variation in the ...

4. Maize - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize

   In a 100-gram serving, maize kernels provide 86 calories and are a good source (10–19% of the Daily Value) of the B vitamins, thiamin, niacin (if freed), pantothenic acid (B5) and folate. [108] Maize has suboptimal amounts of the essential amino acids tryptophan and lysine, which accounts for its lower status as a protein source. [109]

   Here are 10 of the best plant-based proteins to get on your plate: 1. Lentils. This little legume not only packs a protein punch, but is also an all-around nutritional heavy-hitter, says Smith ...

6. Essential amino acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_amino_acid

   An essential amino acid, or indispensable amino acid, is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized from scratch by the organism fast enough to supply its demand, and must therefore come from the diet. Of the 21 amino acids common to all life forms, the nine amino acids humans cannot synthesize are valine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine ...

7. Quality Protein Maize - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_Protein_Maize

   Quality Protein Maize. Quality Protein Maize (QPM) is a family of maize varieties. QPM grain contains nearly twice as much lysine and tryptophan, amino acids that are essential for humans and monogastric animals but are limiting amino acids in grains. QPM is a product of conventional plant breeding (i.e., it is not genetically modified) and an ...

   Since the 1830s, when Chicago enjoyed a brief period of importance as a local milling center for spring wheat, the city has long been a center for the conversion of raw farm products into edible goods. [2] Since the 1880s, Chicago has also been home to firms in other areas of the food processing industry, including cereals, baked goods, and ...

   The foodstuffs listed for comparison show the essential amino acid content per unit of the total protein of the food, 100g of spinach, for example, only contains 2.9g of protein (6% Daily Value), and of that protein 1.36% is tryptophan.
