This method compares the amount of essential amino acids in a given food to a scoring pattern.

The highest possible value is 1.00, which is an indication that the protein provides at least 100% of all amino acids required in a given diet36.

PDCAAS

*This pattern is based on the essential amino acid requirements of a child within ages 2-5

This method measures the ratio of digestible amino acid content compared to the same amino acid in a reference pattern.

Not capped at 1.00, allowing it to compare to the same amino acid in a reference pattern36
