摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop and standardize nutrient dense, easily digestible affordable ready-to-eat supplementary foods from locally available ingredients for malnourished children assess their nutritional composition. Design/methodology/approach – To foods, wheat green gram were germinated, dried made into flour. Potatoes “Kufri Pukhraj” variety procured university washed, peeled, sliced, boiled, dipped in potassium metabisulphite solution, grounded Spinach leaves powder. Five wholesome namely, panjiri, mathi, seviyan, biscuits pinni, developed germinated cereal, pulse potato flour spinach products standardized with analyzed proximate composition by methods. Findings – One-way analysis variance Tukey’s test was used obtain differences organoleptic scores within different levels treatments. All five acceptable at 30 per cent level 2.5 Mean pinni significantly (p < 0.05). Significant 0.05) difference observed terms moisture, crude protein, fat, fibre ash content among the products. Practical implications – can be recommended feeding programmes running country. Originality/value – aims development high energy protein children. complementary food blend up groups like pulse, root tuber leafy vegetables provide nutrition This originally provided only cereal. also add a given programmes.
