Abstract: | The USDA's collaborative study of methods of protein quality evaluation is introduced. It was intended primarily to provide a basis for the evaluation of possibly improved procedures for the labelling of foods as a source of dietary protein. In general, the usefulness of in vitro digestibility procedures has been confirmed, but problems remained for the in vitro evaluation of heat-damaged materials and of some types of pinto beans. |
