Abstract

The ovemll nutritive value of a blend of whole wheat flour (75 parts), low fat groundnut Hour (8 parts) and tapioca 80ur (17 parts), known as paushtik atta, has been studied using albino rats. Complete replacement of whole wheat flour by paushtilr aUa in Indian diet causes a significant improvement in the overall nutritive value of the met. Fortification of paushtik alta with calcium and riboflavin causes a further improvement in its overall nutritive value. The protein efficiency ratio of the proteins of paushtik atta (1.20 and 0.98) in periods of 4 and 8 weeks respectively is significandy higher than that of the proteins of whole wheat flour fO.94 and 0.82).
