Abstract

Studies reported that the regular use of soybean in daily diet enhances human health and protects from several diseases and results in longevity. But lack of awareness about its nutritional profile is the main reason of non-utilization in food products. An attempt has been made to educate the urban women of Bhopal area about importance of soybean for health benefits and utilization in daily diet. Results revealed that after imparting nutrition education, utilization of soy based food intake increased by 21% in daily diet, followed by different frequency level.
