Q
what is amino acid score
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
The Amino Acid Score (AAS) is a nutritional metric used to evaluate the quality of protein in foods by comparing the amino acid profile of the food against a reference protein. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and nine of them are essential because our bodies cannot synthesize them; they must be obtained through diet. The AAS measures how well a protein source provides these essential amino acids (EAAs). In the calculation, the ratio of each EAA in the food to that in the reference pattern is determined, and the lowest ratio (limiting amino acid) defines the score. A score of 1.0 or 100% indicates an ideal match. Foods with an AAS below 1.0 lack one or more EAAs, impacting their overall protein quality. This tool helps in dietary planning and supplementing diets deficient in certain amino acids.
