Summary
This study looks at how well the protein in tempeh chips can be used by the body. Six healthy women aged 19–30 will eat special diets and have their breath tested to measure methionine availability. The goal is to see if tempeh chips are a good, affordable protein source for vegetarians and others.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- tempeh chips and crystalline amino acid mixture
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm tempeh chips as a high-quality protein source, offering a new affordable option for vegetarians and low-income groups.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage metabolic study with only 6 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures protein availability, not health outcomes.
