Abstract:BackgroundThe “Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score” (DIAAS) method measures protein quality in human foods. Animal‐based products generally have high protein quality, but DIAAS values for some pork products are not available. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to determine standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) and DIAAS values for pork products, including three types of pork cuts, Italian hams, and sausages, and to test the hypothesis that all pork products have DIAAS eq… Show more
