rice and soya as basic mix" was conducted to develop a
nutritionally adequate weaning food intended for feeding
infants of six to nine months of age.
The amino acid score and chemical score of seven
proportions of basic mix containing varying proportions of
rice and defatted soya flour were worked out and the best
proportion having the highest score was selected to formulate
a multi mix incorporating amaranth and skim milk powder.
Twelve variations of the multi mix were formulated
varying the nature of incorporation of the aforesaid
ingredients. Recipes (porridge) were prepared from the multi
mixes. The recipes prepared were subjected to preference
test and based on the preference test and nutritive value,
two of the multi mixes were selected which were further
evaluated for their protein quality, physical and
organoleptic qualities, storage stability and cost. Based on
the above the multi mix containing raw rice, defatted soy
I
Flour, skim milk powder, with dried and powdered form of
amaranth was identified as the best multi mix.
The selected multi mix was found to be
nutritionally adequate to meet "the requirement of a young
infant.
The developed product was also found to meet the
requirements specified by IS (1659-1969) for majority of the
characteristics tested and hence could be proclaimed as a
nutritious weaning food for the infants of Kerala, being
indigenous, low cost and easy to prepare and feed.
