Pepsin Digestibility (0.2%, 0.02%, 0.002%, or 0.0002% Pepsin)
Pepsin Digestibility (0.2%, 0.02%, 0.002%, or 0.0002% Pepsin) 
Pepsin digestibility is defined as the percentage of crude protein that is digestible using (x%) pepsin in 0.1NHCl solution at 40ºC/16 hours with agitation. The only pepsin concentration (x%) mentioned in AOAC 971.09 is 0.2%,but increasingly the other concentrations offered above are being used, with the aim of increasing the sensitivity of the test. Simply request "Pepsin" for the AOAC standard 0.2% concentration, otherwise specify "Pepsin" plus the desired concentration (e.g.: "Pepsin .002%").

Modified Torry Digestibility
Modified Torry Digestibility
Modified Torry (developed as an indicator of fish meal protein quality by the Torry Research Station of Aberdeen, Scotland) is a digestibility test using 0.0002% pepsin, except that it is calculated as a percent of the crude protein without solubles. Because the fish solubles are eliminated from the equation, some deem this a truer indicator of quality.
