Description

The biological value of a protein refers to how well and how quickly the body can actually use the protein. Generally, animal proteins have high biological value, that is, they contain complete essential amino acids necessary for life. Plant proteins can also be high biological value depending on the food and the clinical situation. For example, patients with kidney disease have to monitor their phosphorous intake, so a protein such as whey that contains a low level of phosphorus would be considered of high biological value. For vegetarians, non-meat animal proteins (milk, yogurt, eggs) and high- value plant proteins should be combined with complementary foods (rice and beans for example) to provide all of the essential amino acids. For patients with inborn errors of metabolism, high biological value proteins are foods that do not contain, or contain very little of, the amino acid that they cannot metabolize.
