Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The measure represents the Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), which is the gain in body weight on a test protein divided by the grams of protein consumed. BV (biological value) represents the percentage of absorbed protein that is retained in the body for growth and maintenance, while NPU (net protein utilization) represents the percentage of absorbed protein that is retained in the body for growth and maintenance, minus the amount of protein excreted. Chemical score represents the amount of essential amino acids present in a protein compared to the amount required by the body.
