In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this study is to determine the protein quality of soybean tempeh in the form of chips. The main objective of this study is to determine how much methionine in tempeh can be used by reproductive-age women using the stable isotope method. The tempeh will be studied in the form of chips. This research is being done to bridge the gap between the knowledge of protein requirements and the amount of food needed to meet those requirements. Results from this study will be important to confirm the protein quality of tempeh and thus provide a new alternative good protein source for humans, especially vegetarians and those with low socioeconomic status. Each participant will undergo seven experimental trials randomly. During four experimental trials, methionine intake will be obtained from a crystalline amino acid mixture, and during another three experimental trials, it will be obtain
