Abstract

Poor Indian diets based on different cereals and millets are deficient in certain dietary essentials such as proteins, certain minerals and vitamins and hence they do not promote optimal growth of rats.. In an earlier paper, Kuppuswamy et al reported that incorporation of 12.5% of Indian Multipurpose Food (based on 3 1 blend of groundnut flour and Bengalgram flour and fortified with calcium salts and certain vitamins) in poor Indian diets brought about a marked improvement in the nutritive value of the diets as judged by the growth of rats. In a later study.

Abstract

Maize (Zea maize) is cultivated and consumed as a staple food during certain seasons of the year in some states of India.It has the advantage over other cereal crops in being drought resistant and giving high yields. Studies carried out in U. S A. have indicated that the amino acid composition and nutritive value of the proteins of maize may vary over a wide range depending on variety.
