Quality of the dietary protein in foods rather than amount of dietary protein may be of greater
importance from a human health and wellness standpoint. Various systems are in place to …

Abstract The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recently
recommended the adoption of a new and improved scoring system (Digestible …

The nutritional value or quality of structurally different proteins varies and is governed by
amino acid composition, ratios of essential amino acids, susceptibility to hydrolysis during …

Abstract Purpose of Review This review describes several limitations of the Digestible
Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) with a focus on its application to plant-based …

Accurate standardized methods for the determination of amino acid in foods are required to
assess the nutritional safety and compositional adequacy of sole source foods such as infant …

The first objective in evaluating protein quality is to permit a ranking of proteins according to
their potential nutritive value and to permit detection of changes in nutritive value due to …

There is ongoing interest in the development of accurate, precise, rapid and easily
understood methods for assessing protein quality of foods for regulatory purposes …

In 1989 the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Protein Quality Evaluation
recommended the use of the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) …

The future of precision nutrition requires treating amino acids as essential nutrients.
Currently, recognition of essential amino acid requirements is embedded within a …

Abstract Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Score (PDCAAS) is discussed. PDCAAS is
now widely used as a routine assay for protein quality evaluation, replacing the more …
