[Digestibility and protein efficiency of a mixture of rice and beans].

In spite of considerable work in the area of protein quality, consideration should be given in the monitoring of methodologies. In the present investigation the author studied (in rast) digestibility (D) versus score (s) of the mixture of rice and beans or casein diets, containing different protein levels. The parameter "DS" overestimated the value of protein in relation to other methods. Milk diet at 10% of protein was efficient in all nutritional situations.
