Nutritional Studies on Chlorella

VII Absorption Experiment of Dried Chlorella on Human Subject

Abstract

In order to find out the absorption rate of chlorella by human experiment, the two healthy adults were chosen for examination. Certain side-dishes were given to-gether with biscuits in which 5% powdered chlorella was contained.
They were allowed to take as much chlorella biscuits as possible in place of a portion of boild rice, intending to compare the absorption rate of chlorella with that of boiled rice. In this case powdered chlorella taken per day was 21-23g.
According to the results, neither in fat nor in carbohydrate great differences were found concerning the absorption rate, but as to protein absorption, chlorella biscuits were evidently inferior to boiled rice.
