Interventions

Subjects come to the research facility in fasting state. After consuming the soup (~550 ml with 20g of protein), blood samples will be taken each 15 minutes for a period of three hours to assess the
amino acid profile
plant-based protein
post-prandial effects

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameter is the peak value and total amount of amino acids measured in the serum before (t=0 min) and at the various time points after consumption of the two proteins (until t=180 min).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes are the glucose and insulin levels in the blood samples in the same time period of three hours (t=0; t=15, t=30 * t=180) after consumption of the two protein products. Aural temperature, heart rate and blood pressure will be measured before (t=0 min) and after consumption (t=180 min). Finally, subjects will report gastro-intestinal complaints on the test day (consumption of the protein soup) and the subsequent three days via a diary.
