Supplementary value of cottonseed flour to wheat and ragi diets.

Considerable interest has recently developed
in many countries on the utilization of specially
processed oilseed cake flours as articles of food
for human consumption (3-8). Heat processed
soya flour and grits suitable for human consumption
are being manufactured in large quantities
in U.S.A. Peanut and cottonseed flours are
also being produced in limited amounts (4).
Xuppuswamy et al. (7) studied the supplementary
value of cottonseed cake to the South Indian rice
diet. The present communication deals with
studies on the supplementary value of alcoholextracted
edible cottonseed flour to poor vegetarian
diets based on ragi and wheat.
