Conversion Percentage of Tryptophan to Nicotinamide is Higher in Rice Protein Diet than in Wheat Protein Diet in Rats
We reported previously that the pellagragenic property of corn protein is not only low L-tryptophan concentration but also the lower conversion percentage of L-tryptophan to nicotinamide; the amino acid composition greatly affected the conversion percentage. The amino acid value of wheat protein is...
