New approaches to the assessment of protein quality: Whey proteins
In particular vegetable-based proteins are of lower quality than dairy based proteins
> fibre
> anti-nutritional factors
> different structures
An accurate description of Dietary Protein Quality is of fundamental importance:
> Dietary Assessment
> Nutritional Planning
> Regulatory Environment
> Trade
> In the past PDCAAS (protein digestibility corrected amino acid score) has been the recommended scoring method (FAO 1989)
> There are a number of shortcomings of PDCAAS.
> New Recommendations (FAO, 2013)
Emphasis on individual digestible amino acid contents rather than a single score (ie treat each amino acid as an individual unit). This maximises the information on the nutritional (protein) value of food.
> Amino acid digestibility is determined at the end of the small intestine (True ileal digestibility).
> For processed foods ‘reactive lysine’ is determined in diet and ileal digesta rather than ‘total lysine’ to give lysine availability measures.

> Digesta can be collected using ileostomates
> Digesta can be collected using a naso-ileal tube
> Both methods have drawbacks and are not routine
Need for an animal model.

Amino acids in whey proteins are generally highly digestible
When a single score of Protein Quality is needed DIAAS replaces PDCAAS.
With DIAAS (FAO, 2013):> Ileal AA digestibility replaces faecal CP digestibility> Reactive lysine replaces total lysine (conventional AA
analysis)> Scores are not truncated (unless diet or sole-source
food)> AA Reference Pattern (for regulatory purposes):
Infants: AA composition human milk
All others: AA requirement pattern for child (6 months – 3 years)

DIAAS and PDCAAS values1 are different. PDCAAS often overestimates for lower quality proteins

But single scores omit much useful information: (eg leucine supply for optimal muscle function versus body protein maintenance).

Conclusions
1. Considering amino acids as individual nutrients gives maximum information.
2. DIAAS incorporates recent scientific advances, and is an improvement over PDCAAS.
3. Before DIAAS can be implemented we need more data on the true ileal amino acid digestibility of foods.
4. Establishment of such a world food data-set is greatly needed.
5. This is an important step in the fight against malnutrition.
