| Introduction : |
Energy Food is a supplementary
food beneficial in combating protein-calorie malnutrition
of the vulnerable group of the population, particularly
the young children. The energy food is being used
in the country, for supplementary feeding programs
for pre-school children, applied nutrition activities
and midday meal schemes. It can be served to the
people of drought affected areas. Energy Food can
be very beneficial as supplementary food in rural
areas where children are found malnourished, with
protein-calorie, vitamin and minerals.
Energy Food is based on blends of locally available
raw materials such as wheat, bengalgram, edible
groundnut flour, jaggery and fortified with vitamins
and minerals. 100 g of this product provide about
15 g of protein and 390 calories of energy and adequate
amounts of vitamin and minerals. By adopting suitable
market strategy this low cost food can be popularised
as a consumer item in rural areas.
The Energy Food can be prepared
by simple operations like precleaning of raw materials,
roasting under optimal conditions, powdering to
required mesh size and then mixing.
The equipments used are indigenously
available and they are destoner, roaster, pulveriser,
mixer arid heat sealer.
