Abstract

Recently a formula has been developed by Subrahmanyan et all for the manufacture of `Nutro' biscuits containing 15-16 per cent protein and fortified with calcium carbonate and vitamins A, B1, B2, D and nicotinic acid. Since the enriched biscuits are to be used as nutritional supplements to diets of children, invalids and convalescents, it is necessary to ascertain if the added vitamins are retained during baking and on storage of baked goods. A few reports2-5 available in the literature relate to the effect of pH of the dough on the stability of thiamine during baking. The present studies were undertaken to determine the stability of B-vitamins in `Nutro' biscuits during baking under different conditions. Studies on the retention of vitamins during storage of biscuits are in progress and will be reported in due course.
