The research study is being done so we can determine the quality of the protein present in Canadian lentils. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and protein quality is determined by the amount of amino acids present and by their bioavailability (their absorption and use by the body). Some amino acids are essential which means they must be obtained from the diet. If any one of the essential amino acids is missing in the diet, the body cannot make proteins that are used to repair tissue build bone, teeth, etc… Lentils as a food source contain low amounts of the essential amino acid methionine which makes its protein incomplete. The amino acids in lentils are also affected by cooking. Our objective is to determine the amount of methionine in lentils that the body can use. We will test lentils by studying them after cooking them in a stew, on their own and by combining the lentil stew with rice in a mixed meal to make a more complete protein.
