"...Since 1989 the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) method for evaluating protein quality has been widely used. However, limitations of PDCAAS have been recognised and new research findings led to a review of PDCAAS and its application vis--vis other methods of estimating dietary protein quality... This report ... considers of the effectiveness and concerns about the PDCAAS method for evaluation protein quality and provides justifications and recommendations concerning the PDCAAS method. A new method of dietary quality evaluation called DEAAS is recommended for application in practice."--Publisher description."...Since 1989 the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) method for evaluating protein quality has been widely used.
