Table 5 Comparative study of amino acid pattern in CP protein concentrate, soya protein and Casein protein with FAO/WHO/UNU standard and calculation of EAAI
From: Concentration and characterization of microalgae proteins from Chlorella pyrenoidosa

|---|---|---|---|---|
Histidine | 16 | 12 | 30 | 15 |
Isoleucine | 62 | 21 | 49 | 30 |
Leucine | 34 | 35 | 97 | 59 |
Lysine | 81 | 34 | 82 | 45 |
