AOAC 2011.02 Protein Digestibility Analysis for Sports Nutrition Testing: A Comprehensive Guide

Standard-Related Information

The AOAC 2011.02 protein digestibility analysis is a laboratory test used to determine the biological value of proteins in food products, particularly in the sports nutrition industry. This standard is governed by various international and national standards organizations, including:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization): ISO 11923-2:2009 specifies the general principles and requirements for protein digestibility analysis.

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials): ASTM E1055-04 (2011) provides guidelines for protein digestibility analysis in animal feedstuffs.

  • EN (European Standard): EN 11805:2008 outlines the requirements for protein digestibility analysis in food products.

    • These standards ensure that laboratory testing is conducted with precision, accuracy, and consistency. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for laboratories performing AOAC 2011.02 protein digestibility analysis.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in creating, updating, and maintaining international and national standards. Some notable SDOs include:

  • ISO/TC 34: This committee focuses on the development of standards for food products.

  • ASTM Committee E05: This committee is responsible for developing standards related to biological materials.

    • These organizations work collaboratively with industry stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and other experts to ensure that standards are relevant, effective, and up-to-date.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies, methodologies, and requirements emerge. SDOs regularly review and update existing standards to reflect these changes. For example:

  • AOAC 2011.02: This standard was updated in 2020 to incorporate improved methods for protein digestibility analysis.

  • ISO/TC 34: This committee has developed new standards for food safety, nutrition, and labeling.
