Evaluation of the use of amino acid composition data in assessing the protein quality of meat and poultry products.
A detailed analysis of the amino acid composition data of meat and poultry products, in relation to PER, clearly reveals high correlations between amino acid data expressed in various forms and results of protein quality estimations obtained with the PER assay. The significance of these observations in reference to protein quality evaluation for regulatory purposes will be considered in Background Paper 5.
