Radial representation of log-transformed calculated concentrations of apparent ileal digestible EAA in the experimental diets and the concentrations of free EAA in serum of mice fed the corresponding experimental diets (day 28). Number on circles refers to essential AA values in logarithmic scale base 2 (log₂), and the integers in the spider graph are the log-transformed values. Blue line: essential AA composition (g/kg) as determined in the experimental diets. Red line: essential AA composition (μM/mL) as measured in serum on day 28. “r” means correlation values between calculated EAA in the experimental diets and the absolute concentrations of EAA in serum of mice. SBM, soybean meal; CAS, casein; DWP, partially delactosed whey powder; SDPP, spray-dried plasma protein; WGM, wheat gluten meal; YMW, yellow mealworm; AA, amino acid; EAA, essential amino acid.
