Hi All,
Does anybody have advice on calculating %DV for protein (for a protein claim)?
I know this much:
%DV is protein grams/16 *100
To calculate protein grams = protein per servings x PDCAAS
PDCAAS = a.a score x recipe protein digestibility.
a.a score is found on genesis so I don't have to worry about it
recipe protein digestibility = addition of all protein digestibility of ingredients x % of these ingredients.
I can't find the comprehensive list of protein digestibility of ingredients.
I looked at "Protein Quality Evaluation", FAO, Rome 1990 but it only list select food items (no chicken or pork found in this report which is a common food ingredient).
If anyone has any advice, it is much appreciated.
