Amino acid content
PDCAAS - (mg/g protein) in food protein x digestibility - Amino acid content in 1985 FAO/WHO/UNU pattern for ages 2-5 y
It should be noted that digestibility is included in this amino acid
scoring procedure, to allow for differences in the digestibility of
the different food-protein sources. We will refer specifically to the digestibility of plant protein foods below.
Amino acid score and plant protein quality
The amino acid scoring procedure appears likely to be adopted
by the US government as the official procedure for food protein
.
