Line 11:

:NPU = ((0.16 × (24 hour protein intake in grams)) - ((24 hour urinary [[urea]] nitrogen) + 2) - (0.1 × ([[ideal body weight]] in kilograms))) / (0.16 × (24 hour protein intake in grams))

The [[PDCAAS|Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score]] (PDCAAS) is a more modern rating for determining protein quality, and the current ranking standard used by the FDA.

Best assessment of quality of protein is by digestible indispensable aminoacid score which is superior to PDCAAS

The Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) is a [[protein quality]] method, proposed in March 2013 by the [[Food and Agriculture Organization]] <ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-05-19|title=FAO proposes new protein quality measurement - IFT.org|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170519171831/http://www.ift.org/food-technology/daily-news/2013/march/07/fao-proposes-new-protein-quality-measurement.aspx|access-date=2020-11-03|website=web.archive.org}}</ref> to replace the current protein ranking standard, the [[Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score]] (PDCAAS). The proposition is contested, however, due to conflicts of interest and lack of data.<ref>{{Cite web|title=(PDF) Potential impact of the digestible indispensable amino acid score as a measure of protein quality on dietary regulations and health|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323757610_Potential_impact_of_the_digestible_indispensable_amino_acid_score_as_a_measure_of_protein_quality_on_dietary_regulations_and_health|access-date=2020-11-03|website=ResearchGate|language=en}}</ref>
