(c The additive(s is used or intended for use to significantly improve the biological quality of the total protein in a food containing naturally occurring primarily-intact protein that is considered a significant dietary protein source, provided that:
? A reasonable daily adult intake of the finished food furnishes at least 6.5 grams of naturally occurring primarily intact protein (based upon 10 percent of the daily allowance for the reference adult male recommended by the National Academy of Sciences in Recommended Dietary Allowances, NAS Publication No. 1694, 7th Ed. ?968? which is incorporated by reference. Copies are available from the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFSC200? Food and Drug Administration, 5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740, or available for inspection at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA?

? The additive(s results in a protein efficiency ratio (PER of protein in the finished ready-to-eat food equivalent to casein as determined by the method specified in paragraph (d of this section.
? Each amino acid (or combination of the minimum number necessary to achieve a statistically significant increase added results in a statistically significant increase in the PER as determined by the method described in paragraph (d of this section. The minimum amount of the amino acid(s to achieve the desired effect must be used and the increase in PER over the primarily-intact naturally occurring protein in the food must be substantiated as a statistically significant difference with at least a probability (P value of less than 0.05.
? The amount of the additive added for nutritive purposes plus the amount naturally present in free and combined (as protein form does not exceed the following levels of amino acids expressed as percent by weight of the total protein of the finished food:

L-Alanine | 6.1 |
L-Arginine | 6.6 |
L-Aspartic acid (including L-asparagine) | 7.0 |

L-Isoleucine | 6.6 |
L-Leucine | 8.8 |
L-Lysine | 6.4 |
L- and DL-Methionine | 3.1 |
L-Phenylalanine | 5.8 |
L-Proline | 4.2 |
