Abstract

A low cost protein food based on a blend of 70 parts of wheat flour and 30 parts of processed full fat soybean flour and fortified with vitamins and minerals has been prepared. The food contained about 22.5% proteins. The PER of the food at 10% protein level was 1.93. Addition of methionine significantly increased the PER to 2.40 while addition of mixture of methionine, threonine and lysine further increased the PER to 2.91, as compared with 3.0 for milk proteins.
