mg/100 mL represents the amount of the amino acid found in the finished and sieved drink. % of RDI in 500 mL represents the amount of the recommended daily intake [9] of a 70 kg adult that would be covered with an intake of 500 mL of the plant drink. Note that methionine and cysteine have a pooled RDI, and the reference here therefore includes cysteine, despite this amino acid not being measurable by this method.
