The availability of valine in corn for human subjects has been determined by feeding in alternate periods a diet containing valine in purified form and one containing the same amount of valine in corn. Nitrogen balance performance of the subjects was compared on these two diets as the valine intake was decreased from 530 to 230 mg daily. From the data obtained in this experiment, it appears that the valine in corn is as well utilized as purified valine.
