  2. Biological value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_value

    Biological value (BV) is a measure of the proportion of absorbed protein from a food which becomes incorporated into the proteins of the organism's body. It captures how readily the digested protein can be used in protein synthesis in the cells of the organism.

  3. Protein digestibility corrected amino acid score - Wikipedia

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

    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 PER was based upon the amino acid requirements of growing rats, which differ significantly from those of humans.

    Natural protein concentrates (often used in bodybuilding or as sports dietary supplements): Soy protein isolate (prepared with sodium or potassium): 80.66; Whey protein isolate: 79; Egg white, dried: 81.1; Spirulina alga, dried: 57.45 (more often quoted as 55 to 77) Baker's yeast: 38.33; Hemp husks 30

  5. Protein (nutrient) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_(nutrient)

    For milk proteins, about 50% of the ingested protein is absorbed between the stomach and the jejunum and 90% is absorbed by the time the digested food reaches the ileum. [34] Biological value (BV) is a measure of the proportion of absorbed protein from a food which becomes incorporated into the proteins of the organism's body.

  6. Net protein utilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_protein_utilization

    NPU = {0.16 × (24 hour protein intake in grams)} - {(24 hour urinary urea nitrogen) + 2} - {0.1 × (ideal body weight in kilograms)} / {0.16 × (24 hour protein intake in grams)} NPU and biological value (BV) both measure nitrogen retention; the difference is that biological value is calculated from nitrogen absorbed, whereas net protein ...

  7. Protein combining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_combining

    Protein combining or protein complementing is a dietary theory for protein nutrition that purports to optimize the biological value of protein intake. According to the theory, individual vegetarian and vegan foods may provide an insufficient amount of some essential amino acids, making protein combining with multiple complementary foods necessary to obtain a meal with "complete protein".

  8. 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.
