| Summary, etc. | The study entitled "Suitability offood mixes developed by KAU as food supplement under <br/>ICDS" was undertaken with an objective to test the feasibility of using supplementary food mixes <br/>developed by KAU as supplements under ICDS. <br/>Five different supplementary food mixes developed by the Department of Home Science, <br/>KAU were selected for the study. The five selected supplements were banana based mix, ragi <br/>based mix, rice soya based mix, rice based mix and cassava based mix. <br/>All preschool children from five Anganwadi Centres of Kalliyoor Panchayat, <br/>Thiruvananthapuram were cooperated for the study as experimental subjects and all presschool <br/>children from a nearby Anganwadi Centre were selected as control subjects for comparison. <br/>The five supplements were processed in bulk and were fed to the subjects in the form of <br/>sweet puttu for a period offive months, on all working days .The control subjects received the <br/>regular ICDS supplement. <br/>To find out which of the five mixes is most effective as a supplement under ICDS the quality <br/>attributes of the product as well as response to the feeding trial were taken into consideration. The <br/>quality of the products were eva.luated based on availability and familiarity of ingredients used, cost, <br/>nutritional adequacy, ease of preparation, processing loss, yield ratio, overall acceptability and shelf <br/>life of the mixes. The response of the feeding trial was assessed through rate of participation, quantity <br/>consumed, clinical profile, morbidity pattern and variation in anthropometric parameters (like height, <br/>weight, arm circumference, ChestlHead circumference ratio and BM!) of subjects who took part in <br/>the study. <br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/> <br/><br/>When the quality attributes were assessed ragi based mix had the highest score (17) in terms <br/>of availability and familiarity of the ingredients used to prepare the mix and cassava based mix had <br/>the lowest score (8). The cost of the mixes varied fromRs. 20 to Rs. 75 per kg and rice based mix <br/>was found to be the cheapest while banana based mix was the costliest. <br/>1 <br/> <br/>~------------------------------------------------- ----- <br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/> <br/><br/>When the nutritional adequacy of the five supplements were compared rice soya based mix <br/>was found to be the most suitable as all its ingredients can be fitted into the "Food Square". All the <br/>five supplements were found to supply 300 calories and lOgm of protein per serving as per the <br/>norms for a supplement under ICDS. Ragi based mix had an added advantage that it supplied <br/>additional amounts of iron and calcium, when compared to other supplements. <br/>Based on the steps involved and time taken for processing the ingredients to prepare the mix, <br/>the rice based mix and cassava based mix were found to be simple than banana based and ragi <br/>based mixes where the processing procedures were complex and time taking. However rice soya <br/>based mix had the highest processing loss (0.65) while cassava based mix had the lowest value for <br/>processing loss (0.13) and hence had the highest yield (1.94) per unit of raw ingredients processed. <br/>Though all the five mixes had a shelf life of six months, cassava based mix had a shelf life of <br/>nine months since there were neither visible changes nor presence of insects or pests. After the <br/>storage period of six months the rice based mix had the lowest bacterial count. However the total <br/>count W2.S within the acceptable range (50,000/g) range. <br/>When the organoleptic the recipes made from the five mixes were evaluated by expert judges <br/>by and selected mothers, sweet puttu prepared from rice based mix secured the highest score (24 <br/>out of 25) when compared to that made from other four mixes for its overall acceptability. <br/>Therefore when the quality attributes of the mixes were taken into consideration as a single <br/>phenomina, cassava based mix was adjudged as the most suitable mix to be used under ICDS <br/>followed by rice based, rice soya based, ragi based and banana based mixes in the descending <br/>order. <br/>The suitability of the mixes were also analysed based on the response to the feeding trial. <br/>There was a significant variation in the quantity of the five supplements consumed by the subjects. <br/>Statistical analysis of data showed a significant difference in the incidence of minor ailments <br/>among the children who received different supplements. Highest diseases incidence was noted <br/>among children fed with banana based mix (12.3%) and the lowest incidence was among those who <br/>2 <br/> <br/>received rice based mix (6.31 %) and for the control group it was 6.65%. Maximum recovery after <br/>supplementation was observed among subjects who had angular stomatitis (45%). There was a <br/>significant variation in the clinical profile of children before and after the feeding trial. When the <br/>clinical profile of children was examined before and after supplementation the maximum shift from <br/>'malnourished category 'to 'normal category' was seen among children fed on rice soya based mix <br/>followed by rice based, banana based, ragi based and cassava based mixes in the descending order. <br/>When the nutritional status of the subjects were analysed before and after the feeding trial of <br/>five months by various anthropometric parameters it was noted that there was a general increase in <br/>all the parameters irrespecti ve of the type of supplement given. Though there was a general increase <br/>in mean height, arm circumference and ChestlHead circmference ratio, the variation due to <br/>supplementation was not statistically significant and hence all five supplements can be considered <br/>to be equally effecti ve in bringing about an increase in the above growth indicators. <br/>However, there was a significant variation in the gain weight and BM! between the subjects <br/>and the percentage gain was highest among those who received rice based mix (11.8% and4.1 % <br/>respectively) and the gain in weight as well as BM! was lowest for those who received banana <br/>based mix (1.1 %). It was suprising to find that the BM! of the control group had reduced over the <br/>period of five months. <br/>When the quali ty attributes and the response to the feeding trial were combined together to <br/>assess the suitability of the mixes as supplement under ICDS, rice based mix was ranked as the <br/>most suitable one with score of 109 out of 145 followed by cassava based (106), ragi based (91), <br/>rice soya based (79) and banana based mixes (70) in the descending order. <br/>Hence it can be concluded that though all the five supplements developed by KAV had <br/>several positive attributes, rice based supplement was found to be the best closely followed by <br/>cassava based mix. Therefore, rice based mix can be recommended as a supplement under ICDS <br/>since it is cheap, highly acceptable, easy to process and prepare and also because it showed a <br/>positive effect on the nutritional status of children. <br/>3 <br/><br/> |
