ABSTRACT
All three geriatric mix have been developed from quality protein maize having well balanced amino acid composition. The calorific value of the foods varied between 377.98 kcal to 391.77cal per 100 g. the level of protein per 100 cal in all three geriatric foods was above the adequate level of 2.93 g per 100 k cal for female and male beneficiaries. To study the effect of Geriatric food on three type foods mixture of prepared vig- Geriatric mix- I (maize- 100 gm, whole mung-100 gm, skimmed milk powder -300gm, chocolate powder -100 gm, sugar powder - 400 gm), Geriatric mix- II (maize - 600 gm, bengalgram - 75 gm, gingelly seed -75 gm , carrot-1500 gm) , Geriatric mix III- (maize -1500gm, whole mung - 225 gm, makhana -225gm, chocolate powder -100 gm).
Key words :
