Biological value is determined based on this formula. [4] [5] BV = ( N r / N a) * 100. Where: N a = nitrogen absorbed in proteins on the test diet N r = nitrogen incorporated into the body on the test diet. However direct measurement of N r is essentially impossible. It will typically be measured indirectly from nitrogen excretion in urine. [6]
As a value, NPU can range from 0 to 1 (or 100), with a value of 1 (or 100) indicating 100% utilization of dietary nitrogen as protein and a value of 0 an indication that none of the nitrogen supplied was converted to protein. Certain foodstuffs, such as eggs or milk, rate as 1 on an NPU chart.
The formula for calculating the PDCAAS percentage is: (mg of limiting amino acid in 1 g of test protein / mg of same amino acid in 1 g of reference protein) x fecal true digestibility percentage. [2] The PDCAAS value is different from measuring the quality of protein from the protein efficiency ratio (PER) and the biological value (BV) methods. [3]

The only major component of most food which contains nitrogen is protein (fat, carbohydrate and dietary fiber do not contain nitrogen). If the amount of nitrogen is multiplied by a factor depending on the kinds of protein expected in the food the total protein can be determined. This value is known as the "crude protein" content.
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.
Schematic representation of structural classes of protein according to the CATH classification scheme. [1] Proteins are a class of macromolecular organic compounds that are essential to life. They consist of a long polypeptide chain that usually adopts a single stable three-dimensional structure.
