An experiment was conducted using growing pigs to determine the true ileal digestibility (TID) values of AA in six cooked Chinese pulses (kidney bean, mung bean, adzuki bean, broad beans, peas and chickpeas). Each pulse was included in a diet as the only source of crude protein (CP). An N-free diet was given to allow determination of gut endogenous AA losses. Seven growing pigs each fitted with a T-cannula at the terminal ileum were allotted to a 7 by 6 incomplete Latin square with seven diets and six 7-d periods. The true digestibility values % for the total indispensable AA were higher (p &lt; 0.001) for broad beans (87.3 \u00b1 2.98) and lower (p &lt; 0.001) for kidney bean (73.3 \u00b1 4.84) than for the other pulses. For the older child (over 3 years), adolescent and adult, the DIAAS (%) was 88 for kidney bean, 86 for mung bean, 76 for chickpeas, 68 for peas, 64 for adzuki bean and 60 for broad beans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu12123831","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,15]],"date-time":"2020-12-15T09:12:57Z","timestamp":1608023577000},"page":"3831","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Scores (DIAAS) of Six Cooked Chinese Pulses"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Fei","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration (Former Name: Academy of State Administration of Grain), Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Moughan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Riddet Institute, Massey University, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juntao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Animal Nutrition, College of Animal Science and Technology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaojie","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration (Former Name: Academy of State Administration of Grain), Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2019, December 26).
