Talk:PDCAAS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I corrected the PDCAAS for wheat which was stated as 0.25, less than half the typical value. The 0.25 score is accurate for seitan, which consists only of the non-water soluble protein in wheat. Aragorn2 22:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The advantages section is False.

This sentence is in the advantage section.>>> The PDCAAS is superior to both the PER and the BV.

The section should actually be changed to Disadvantages or a more neutral heading.

Also, POV sentence should be changed to >>> The PDCAAS and PER are not as accurate as the BV method.

There is a lot of POV going on here. Messenger2010 17:00, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I changed the above edits for better sentences as Greenman suggested. Thanks Greenman. Messenger2010 18:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I can see why you added the POV tag, but your suggestions don't make much sense, and are just as POV - how about listing some resources discussing the various benefits of the different methods? Greenman 09:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Greenman. There needs to be a major clean up here as Greenman can see why I added the POV tag. Messenger2010 18:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I have updated the Methodology Section (formely it was called advantages which is a POV heading) for a NPOV. Messenger2010 05:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soy

Why isn't it specified what soy protein are we dealing with exactly? Is it the protein of soybeans alone, or soy protein isolate? I found on various sites, that soy protein isolate has PDCAAS of 1.0, while soybeans have lower.Suane 21:08, 17 December 2006

There are no scientific articles I could find saying that soy protein has a PDCAAS of 0.92, as the article claimed before. They claim either 0.99 or 1.0. I will proceed to change it to 1.0. Jorgenumata (talk) 06:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Isolated soy protein has a PDCAAS score of 1.0. Soybeans and soy flour are lower. See [1],[2], and with some other places that quote various sources ([3]) This journal says 0.93 for soy flour [4]. --Yankees76 (talk) 14:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
