Using the PDCAAS method, the protein quality rankings are determined by comparing the amino acid profile of the specific food protein against a standard amino acid profile with the highest possible score being a 1.0.
PDCAAS scores do not take into account the quantity of the non-essential amino acids. Despite the insufficient essential amino acid profiles of most plant-based proteins, it is possible to combine low lysine with low methionine plant-based proteins, which would yield a more complete protein. [25] [1]
To calculate the amino acid score the formula used is, the milligram of limiting amino acid in 1 gram of test protein/ the milligram of that same amino acid of reference protein multiplied by 100. [2] If food has a score of 100 it is to considered as a high quality protein with all the necessary nutrients.

Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) is a protein quality method proposed in March 2013 by the Food and Agriculture Organization to replace the current protein ranking standard, the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS).
