Abstract

Pilot scale preparation and nutritive value of protein-enriched macaroni rice are described. The product contained about 17 per cent protein (moisture-Cree basis). The growth of children fed macaroni in place of rice as part of their normal diet was superior to tbat of children on the rice diet. Mean increases in their weights and heights over a period of four-and-half months were: 1.41 kg and 3.1 em., respectively as compared with 0.61 kg and 1.88 em., of the control group. The children on macaroni diet also showed significandy higher mean daily retentions of nitrogen (2.58 g) and calcium (388.5 mg) as compared with 1.77 g. and 88.5 mg. respectively of children consuming rice diet.
