What is a protein containing all nine essential amino acids in sufficient amounts?

Answer 1

Most foods contain all the essential amino acids.

Protein is made from amino acids. Humans can synthesize most of the amino acids that we need to make protein, with the exception of nine essential amino acids (histadine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine) that must come from the foods we eat.

In 1914, Thomas B. Osborne and Lafayette B. Mendel conducted studies which suggested that rats grew best when fed a combination of plant foods whose amino acid patterns resembled that of animal tissue. The term "complete protein" was coined to describe a protein in which all nine essential amino acids are present in the same proportion that they occur in animals. "Incomplete protein" described the varying amino acid patterns in plants. It's a misleading term, because it suggest that humans (and other animals, one would assume) can't get enough essential amino acids to make protein from plants.

Fortunately, the theory that plant proteins are somehow "incomplete" and therefore inadequate has been disproven. All unrefined foods have varying amounts of protein with varying amino acid profiles, including leafy green vegetables, tubers, grains, legumes, and nuts. All the essential and nonessential amino acids are present in any single one of these foods in amounts that meet or exceed your needs, even if you are an endurance athlete or body builder.

Whenever you eat, your body stores amino acids, and then withdraws them when it needs them to make protein. It is not necessary to eat any particular food or any particular combination of foods together at one sitting, to make complete protein. Your body puts together amino acids from food to make protein throughout the day.

Answer 2

Any protein from an animal contains all the amino acids so beef, pork, veal, poulltry, deer, buffalo, elk, moose, possum, shelfish and all other fish, turtle, etc, etc, etc. and eggs. Incomplete protein would be contained in cheese, peanut butter and other legumes and milk.

gudness this is the only ? i have left i seriously need sum help..plz??? yaw are smart peoples i have searched evrywhere for it. i have had no luck even the dumb teacher has beeen lokkin && says she cant find it..so lets prove were smarter than sum teachers

complete ;) is the answer (:

Answer 4

This Protein is called a complete Protein. It carries all of the amino acids including Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine.

Answer 5

SoybeansAlthough soybeans are not an animal product, they are a complete protein source. The National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health explain that soybeans are the only complete protein source in the plant kingdom. Soybeans also contain carbohydrates, so you may want to choose other complete protein sources if you're following a low-carbohydrate diet.Whey ProteinWhey protein is a complete source of protein, according to the Whey Protein Institute. Whey protein is sold as a supplement, but it is also found in milk. The Whey Protein Institute explains that 20 percent of the total protein in milk comes from whey. Whey protein also contains ingredients that support immune health and contains branched chain amino acids, which are non-essential.FishAccording to the "Health Guide" in the July 5, 2007, issue of "The New York Times," fish is also a complete protein source. Many fish, such as tilapia, are low in fat and high in protein, which makes them low-calorie, complete protein sources. Other fish, such as salmon, contain high levels of healthy, unsaturated fats. Though high in calories, these fish may offer health benefits that lean fish do not.Fish-IISimilarly to meat, fish contributes all the essential amino acids you require each day. Some types of fish are lean, while others, including salmon, tuna and mackerel, supply your diet with fat in addition to high-quality protein. Unlike the fat in meat, the fat in fish is primarily unsaturated, contributing to the health of your cardiovascular system. Consuming fish not only gives you essential amino acids but also improves your heart health.Poultry"The New York Times" also notes that poultry is a complete protein source. Poultry includes chicken and turkey, which are low in fat and rich in protein. Chicken and turkey are versatile and can be prepared in a variety of ways.
