Brief Description
Description : | Protein malnutrition is a major health concern affecting Indian population mainly children below 6 years and women of reproductive age (15 to 49 years). According to National Family Health Survey 4 (2015-16), 38% of children below 6 years are underweight/ stunted, and almost 60% of women do not obtain the daily protein requirements. CSIR-IHBT developed a low cost technology for commercial production of protein and fibre enriched cereal bars that meets at least 20% recommended dietary allowances (RDA) of protein and fibre |
