Abstract

High protein weaning blends from acid stabilized rice bran protein concentrate and rice, with or without greengram have been assessed for their physico-chemical characteristics, and nutritional quality. The protein contents of weaning blends 1 and 2 were 20.6 and 21.8%, respectively. These represent calorie dense formulations with 377 and 372 calories/100 g, which conform to ISI specifications. The protein efficiency ratios of blends 1 and 2 were 2.1 and 2.2, respectively. Formulations possessed high water absorption capacity of 310 ml/100 g at 27°C, which increased to 360 ml/100 g at 60°C. The gruel viscosities of reconstituted blends were low, when compared to two rice-based commercial preparations.
