A theoretical method is described whereby the availabilities of amino acids from test proteins are determined relative to the availabilities of amino acids from egg albumen. The method requires that both the test protein and the egg albumen be 14C labeled. The relative availabilities of the amino acids are determined from the change in specific activities of the dietary amino acids and those recovered in the feces.
