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 …

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

PDCAAS is a widely used assay for evaluating protein quality. It is a chemical score, which
is derived from the ratio between the first limiting amino acid in a test protein and the …

Protein quality, as determined by the PDCAAS method, is a measure of a protein's ability to
provide adequate levels of essential amino acids for human needs. PDCAAS is calculated …

The current concepts of protein quality evaluation were reviewed. A detailed examination of
existing animal assays and more promising amino acid scoring methods has been carried …

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

The subject of protein quality assessment of foods and diets was addressed at the Codex
Committee on Vegetable Proteins (1982–1989), FAO/WHO (1989, 2001) and WHO/FAO …

Abstract The Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) has been adopted
for assessing protein quality in human foods since 1991, and the shortcomings of using the …

An experiment was conducted to compare values for digestible indispensable amino acid
scores (DIAAS) for four animal proteins and four plant proteins with values calculated as …

Background: The FAO has recommended replacing the protein digestibility–corrected amino
acid score (PDCAAS) with the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) …
