Incaparina and Other Incaparina-Based Foods: Experience of INCAP in Central America
2000
Tartanac, Florence
Incaparina is a high-quality protein vegetable food used in Guatemala. It was developed in the 1960s for children and other population groups with nutritional deficiencies. The original formula is still used as a commercial product, but both its ingredients and its micronutrient composition needed to be improved. Protein quality was improved, vitamin A content was reduced, and the contents of iron, B vitamins, zinc, and calcium were increased. The price of new Incaparina is still very competitive. In order to ensure the quality of this commercial product, a Seal of Nutritional Excellence was developed and is expected to be used by private firms.
