Studies on a wheat-based amylase-rich food
1988
Gopaldas, T. | Deshpande, S. | John, C.
In most developing countries the first food to be introduced in a child's diet is a porridge prepared from a cereal or cereal flour. Such porridges are characterized by high viscosity and low energy content per unit volume of food, necessitating frequent feedings to meet the daily energy requirements of the child. This is not practical in tribal, rural, or urban slum areas where the mothers work the whole day away from home. Therefore a series of studies was undertaken in our laboratory to attempt to overcome this problem of dietary bulk.
