What is PDCAAS ? HOW IS PDCAAS IS CALCULATED?
Protein is essential in many ways. The importance of protein is in many ways for human beings. To investigate the quality of protein, and the preferred best method to determine protein quality, US FDA and Food and Agricultural organizatioin is adopting PDCAAS score.
What is PDCAAS Score? -----it is nothing but, Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score. This score gives the evaluation of quality of protein, depends on both the requirements of amino acids for human beings and how much it can be digested.
The PDCAAS Score is in between 0 and 1. 1 is the highest and 0 is the lowest score. The PDCAAS score of wheat is 0.42, where as eggs, cow's milk, soy protein has PDCAAS Score of 1.
PDCAAS is calculated by multiplying protein digestibility of the receipe by the amino acid score.
