Summary

This study aims to study the digestibility of isolated duckweed protein. The digestibility of the isolated duckweed protein will be compared to an isolated benchmark protein whey. Objective: The primary objective is to investigate the digestibility of isolated duckweed protein and the isolated benchmark protein whey. Study design: The study is a cross-over, double blind, controlled trial in which study participants will visit the research facility on two occasions under fasting conditions. Subjects will receive two protein sources in randomized order with a washout period of one week. Blood will be collected via a catheter before and up-to 3 hours after protein consumption. Study population: We aim to include 12 healthy volunteers aged 18-50 years. Intervention: Study participants will receive 20 grams of isolated duckweed protein and the isolated benchmark protein whey. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study parameter is blood amino acids measured before and after consumption of 20 g protein.
