Essential and non-essential amino acids, protein quality
These six are arginine, cysteine, glycine, glutamine, proline, and tyrosine. Six amino acids are non-essential (dispensable) in humans, meaning they can be synthesized in sufficient quantities in the body. ... The limiting amino acid is the essential amino acid found in the smallest quantity in the foodstuff.
