Protein energy under nutrition (PEU) and
micronutrient deficiency is common in countries where
population mainly depends upon cereal grains including
maize to derive most of their nutritional requirements. So,
proper nutrition through different ways such as nutrient
supplementation and biofortification is essential for
improvement and maintenance of human health. In spite
of important uses of maize, it is deficient in two essential
amino acid i.e. lysine and tryptophan along with moderate
deficiency of isoleucine. These deficiencies have been
addressed through the development of nutritionally
improved maize known as Quality Protein Maize (QPM)
which possesses the desired concentration of lysine and
tryptophan as recommended by Food and Agricultural
Organization. Development of QPM holds a great promise
to signify its importance not only as quality food but also
as quality feed for poultry, piggery and animal sectors.
