In our previous papers, experimental evidence was presented to show that supplementing curds from cow's milk to casein-starch diet fed to rats led to increased intestinal synthesis of thiamine and this benefitted the host to a substantial degree when the intake of the vitamin was suboptimal. The importance of soyabean milk in the dietary of oriental people need not be over emphasized. In recent years, attempts have been made to popularise vegetable milks in India as well.- Studies on a Processed Protein Food Based on a Blend of Groundnut Flour and Full-Fat Soya Flour fortified with Essential Amino Acids, Vitamins and Minerals

The diets consumed by a great majority of the population in many of the developing countries in the world contain negligible amounts of protein-rich and protective foods. In view of the shortage in the production of milk and other protective foods in these countries, studies have been carried out by several workers on the use of protein-rich foods of vegetable origin as effective supplements to the diets of the vulnerable groups of the population. In the earlier papers, the results of studies on the preparation and nutritive value of a protein food based on a 1:1 blend of full - fat soya flour and edible groundnut flour and fortified with 1% each of 1-lysine and dl-methionine and adequate amounts of calcium salts, vitamins A and D, thiamine and riboflavin, have been reported.- Studies on a Processed Protein Food Based on a Blend of Groundnut Flour and Full-Fat Soya Flour fortified with Essential Amino Acids, Vitamins and Minerals V.

In earlier publications from this laboratory, Joseph et al and Kurien et al. have reported that undernourished children subsisting on poor Indian diets based mainly on rice, jowar (Sorghum vulgare), ragi (Eleucine coracana) and bajra (Hennisetum typhoideum) maintained on an average, slight positive nitrogen and calcium balances, which were inadequate for promoting optimum growth of the children. Supplementation of a poor rice diet daily with 2 oz of a processed protein food based on a 2 : 1 : 1 olend of groundnut flour, Bengalgram flour and low-fat coconut meal or with 50g of fortified groundnut flour, made up tne deficiencies in the diet, and brought about a significant increase in the growth and nutritional status and also in the retention of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus in children.- Recent Developments. in the Production and Use of Processed Protein Foods in the Treatment and Prevention of Protein Malnutrition in Children

There is increasing recognition among nutrition workers that the diets consumed by the majority of low-income groups of the population in several tropical and subtropical countries are deficient in various important dietary essentials, such as proteins, minerals and vitamins. Acute shortage of animal protein coupled with inadequate intakes of total protein are common in these countries.- Nutritional Properties of Neera and Palm Gur

There are about five crores of sugar yielding palm trees in India. They are mostly Date (Phoenix sylvestris), Palmyra (Borassus flabellifer) and Sago (Caryota urens). The palmyra and date trees number about four crores and one crore respectively. Out of these, only about a quarter are tapped and about 134,000 tons of jaggery are made.- Studies on Microatomised Protein Foods Based on Blends of Low Fat Groundnut, Soya Bean and Sesame Flours and Skim Milk Powder and fortified with Vitamins, Calcium Salts and Limiting Amino Acids IV.

Diets based predominantly on a mixture of tapioca and rice or tapioca and maize are deficient in protein, certain vitamins and minerals and are widely consumed by children in several developing countries of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The incidence of protein malnutrition is particularly high among infants and preschool children consuming such diets.- Studies on Microatomised Protein Foods Based on Blends of Low Fat Groundnut, Soyabean and Sesame Flours and Skim Milk Powder and fortified with Vitamins, Calcium Salts and Limiting Amino Acids III.

In view of the shortage in the production of milk and other protein-rich foods of animal origin in several developing countries, investigations have been carried out by several workers on the use of protein-rich foods based on oilseed meals and legumes in the treatment and prevention of protein malnutrition in children. In earlier papers data regarding the composition, shelf life and nutritive value of the proteins of micro-atomised protein foods based on oilseed meals and skim milk powder have been reported.- Studies on Micro-Atomised Protein Foods Based on Blends of Low Fat Groundnut, Soya and Sesame Flours and Skim Milk Powder and fortified with Vitamins, Calcium Salts and Limiting Amino Acids I.

The diets consumed by weaned infants and pre-school children in India and other developing countries consist predominantly of starchy foods and lack in protein rich and protective foods such as milk, meat, fish, eggs etc. Protein malnutrition is widely prevalent in the above age group. During recent years a considerable amount of work has been carried out on the preparation of processed protein foods suitable for supplementing the diets of weaned infants and pre-school children in the developing countries.- Studies on Micro-Atomised Protein Foods Based on Blends of Low Fat Groundnut, Soya and Sesame Flours and Skim Milk Powder and fortified with Vitamins, Calcium Salts and Limiting Amino Acids II.

Increasing sugarcane production and the recent developments in the international oil markets have once again underlined the need for effectively utilising the by-product molasses of sugar production and the use of molasses based alcohol for industrial purposes.
On the other hand, the State Governments have vested interests in diverting as much alcohol for potable purposes because of its revenue potential and scope for political patronage. Our Constitution has singled out potable alcohol by giving the right to levy excise taxes on it exclusively to the State Governments. While the intention of our Constitution behind this is to encourage prohibition, the effects are exactly the opposite.
The concentration of sugarcane and sugar production in some states and the revenue potential of potable alcohol are virtually choking the growth of alcohol based chemical industries and may seriously jeopardize any scope of use of alcohol as an automobile fuel even if justified on techno-economic grounds.
This paper structures the above developments as an illustration of a set of hypotheses on the dynamics of any system of controls/subsidies; how they originate, become complex, gradually lose relevance and ultimately become damaging. This paper identifies very important and urgent policy issues and suggests that we need to relook at our Constitutional provisions related to prohibition.
An attempt has been made to put these issues in the context of the ongoing debate on Centre-State financial relations and this paper warns against decentralisation of taxation powers. More importantly, this paper highlights the irony of some state governments financing their popular welfare schemes from revenue generated out of potable alcohol consumed by the very same poor who are supposed to be the beneficiaries of these welfare schemes.
An incidental but nevertheless important aspect is how a raw material (molasses) ‘valued’ at a meagre Rs 90 crore per year, eventually fetches around Rs 3,000 crore per year from the ultimate consumers, without any significant processing in between.
