Description Kaffir corn (Sorghum vulgare) and pearl
millet (Pennesetum typhoideum) are consumed
as the staple food by the low income
groups of the population in certain parts
of India and other developing countries 1>2
They form the main source of proteins
in their diets. 2 Studies carried out by
different workers have shown that the proteins
of these two millets are partially
deficient in lysine and threonine and possess
a medium protein efficiency ratio.
Recent investigations have indicated that
it is possible to improve the nutritive value
of cereal proteins by fortification with the
limiting amino acids.4 The present paper
deals with studies on the effect of supplementation
with I-lysine and dl-threonine
on the nutritive value of the proteins of
kaffir corn and pearl millet and of poor
Indian diets based on them.
