Abstract

Protein enriched cereal foods based on blends of different cereals, peanut flour, soybean flour and chickpea flour and fortified with calcium salts and certain essential vitamins have been prepared. The protein contents of the foods ranged from 19 to 23 per cent. The protein efficiency ratios of the different foods at 10% protein level ranged from 2.0 to 2.2 A daily supplement of Sag. of the food costing about 1 • .5 U.S. cents will provide about 9 to 11 g. protein and about half the daily requirements-vitamins A and D, riboflavin, thiamine and calcium of pre-school children.
