ABSTRACT
A
rice-soy based weaning food was produced as a unit of cereal-legume mixtures
with the addition of soybean overcoming the lysine deficiency of rice and the
protein content of the formula increased. The processing steps used to obtain a
quick to cook rice for infant consumption with an advantageous shelf- life are
given as adopted from Juliano (1990). The processing steps applied for the
production of soy flour which was adopted from Faryna (1985) are also shown. The
anti-nutritional factors of rice and soybean with their elimination methods are
also discussed. The proximate analysis of the blend with the ratio 72:28; rice:
soybean (King et al.,1977) was determine and an insight is given on the
nutritional value (Protein Efficiency Ratio and Feed Conversion Ratio) of the mixture
as determined by a feeding trial carried out on weanling rabbits.
