1 IVPD (%) according to stage of digestion: pepsin digestibility (1 h) or pepsin + pancreatin overall protein digestibility in the short-term (1 + 1 h), medium-term (1 + 3 h), and long-term (1 + 24 h). IVPD was calculated as the ratio between the concentration of free α-amino groups in the samples and an alanine standard solution, and the results are represented as mean ± SD (n = 3). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was conducted within each column and values followed by different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). 2 TIA levels (TIU/mg DM) are based on sample mass or protein mass on dry weight basis, and expressed as TIU/mg sample DM or TIU/mg protein DM, respectively. TIA results are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was conducted within each column and values followed by different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05).
