Extract: The protein quality of industrially produced and home prepared milk or cereal milk based foods for infants and children was evaluated by means of biological assays. Furthermore, a comparison between industrially processed products and their corresponding home prepared alternatives was made. Although the protein nutritional value was similar in these infant formulas and gruels the total nutritional value of the industrial products, i.e., including the vitamin and mineral content,is more standardized due to supplementation. The net protein utilization (NPU) assays of some cereal milk based porridge powders revealed a wide variation (28 to 69); the lowest NPU values reflect the influence of the processing technique. This illustrates the necessity of performing biological evaluations of processed foods.
