Production of malt extract project costs.

The present production of malt extract in
Iudia is insufficient to meet the requirements
and considerable amounts of it are imported.
This is despite the fact that cereals like
ragl (EJeusine coracana). jowar (Sorghum
vulgare) and barley, suitable for the
preparation of malt and malt extract are
available in the country. The development
of indigenou8 malt extraCt Jndustry has been
hampered primarily due to the non~availability of know~how. The details of a process
worked out at the Central Food Technoloalcal
Research Institute, Mysore, for the preparation
of malt extract from ragi and the project cost
data for the same are presented In this paper.
