Abstract

The object of the present investigation was to assess the effects of B vitamin, amino acid and high quality protein supplementation of a poor quality diet typical of that consumed by low income groups of South India. This diet, conforming to the average local practice, included rice and a legume (Cajanus indicus) as major constituents with leafy and nonleafy vegetables, milk and also condiments in quantities as normally used. The cereal:legume proportions were blended to give diets containing two protein levels.
