  2. Biological value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_value

    BV is designed to ignore variation in digestibility of a food — which in turn largely depends on the food preparation. For example, compare raw soy beans and extracted soy bean protein. The raw soy beans, with tough cell walls protecting the protein, have a far lower digestibility than the purified, unprotected, soy bean protein extract. As a ...

    As the average American currently gets [just over a quarter] of their protein from plant-based sources (1:3 ratio), we are talking about replacing only a relatively small amount of animal protein ...

  4. Protein digestibility corrected amino acid score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_Digestibility...

    Protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) is a method of evaluating the quality of a protein based on both the amino acid requirements of humans and their ability to digest it. The PDCAAS rating was adopted by the US FDA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations / World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) in 1993 ...

    EAAs are provided in both animal and plant-based food. The EAAs in plants vary greatly due to the vast variation in the plant world and, in general, plants have much lower content of proteins than animal food. [2] [3] Some plant-based foods contain few or no EAAs, e.g. some sprouts, mango, pineapple, lime and melon. On the other hand, nuts ...

    A 30-year study found that those who ate a higher ratio of plant-based protein compared to animal-based protein had a 19% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 27% lower risk of coronary ...

  8. Protein quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_quality

    Protein quality is the digestibility and quantity of essential amino acids for providing the proteins in correct ratios for human consumption. There are various methods that rank the quality of different types of protein , some of which are outdated and no longer in use, or not considered as useful as they once were thought to be.

  9. Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestible_Indispensable...

    The PDCAAS considers the global digestibility of the product's protein (a single figure) while the DIAAS accounts for a specific digestibility percentage for each indispensable amino acid The reference values for the PDCAAS are based on a unique age group, the 2 to 5-year-old child which is deemed to be the more demanding.
