New FAO recommendation of protein quality measurement DIAAS
To meet the protein requirements of its growing population, the world must discover new alternative protein sources. It is therefore essential to understand the value and consequent suitability of these proteins for human nutrition.
The FAO recommends the use of the Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) method instead of the PDCAAS measurement. The DIAAS is based on the true ileal digestibility of each amino acid preferably measured in humans or animal models. The Three Rs (3Rs) principle, the guiding principle for more ethical use of animal testing, is one of the corporate responsibilities of the food industry. So are you ready for DIAAS without expensive clinical or animal trials?
Triskelion has developed an in vitro method which allows rapid and cost-effective evaluation of both, the true ileal digestibility and the DIAAS method. Our unique dynamic in vitro gastrointestinal model tiny-TIM simulates the dynamic conditions of the upper tract. DIAAS can be accurately and reliably determined in the TIM system (Havenaar et al 2016). The dynamic gastrointestinal TIM models are a validated alternative for animal testing.

New Management Team Triskelion
First Dutch Innovations has appointed Anita Spooren and Robert van den Berg as Managing Directors of Triskelion.
Anita Spooren and Robert van den Berg already were responsible for managing the daily business of Triskelion, after the sudden death of Triskelion’s previous CEO Hans van Veen earlier this year. They both have been working in several management roles within Triskelion and her predecessor TNO, and are well acquainted with the Triskelion business. As Managing Directors, they have a shared responsibility. Robert van den Berg will mainly focus on business, whereas Anita Spooren’s main focus will be on the organization.
With this new management team, First Dutch Innovations and Triskelion have full confidence to reach the goals set for the next years.
