The digestibility of a food protein may be obtained by using animal experiments but this is an expensive and time consuming procedure. Digestion of macroalgae proteins by proteolytic enzymes has been reported. However, in these studies the in vitro protein digestibility was only based on single enzyme digestion. Multi-proteolytic enzyme system, which are more similar to the actual digestion environment in vivo have a good approximation of the true protein digestibility.
