Quality
(redirected from protein quality)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Quality
The state of being superior to something else. For example, a good is high quality if it is more durable, tastes better, looks more appealing or is otherwise generally better than similar goods. High quality is an important aspect for many goods because it may increase sales. Most companies seek to have or make high quality products because doing so promotes repeat business. On the other hand, some companies sell low quality goods for very low prices and rely on high volume. See also: Quality control.
