Studies on Formulation of Ready-To-Use Weaning Foods Mixes with Soywhey

Ready to use mixes were prepared by using cereals, pulses, vegetables/fruits and nuts with soy-whey. Different products like idli, dhokla, halwa, sattu and upma were prepared and analyzed for mineral and other nutritional parameters. The calcium content was found highest in sattu i.e. 213.33 mg/100g, Whereas, the sodium value was recorded in halwa as 19.33 mg/100g. The potassium were obtained as in idli (42.00 mg/100g) and phosphorous in upma was 245.00 mg/100g. Moisture content was highest in sattu, crude protein was highest in upma, crude fat was highest in dhokla and crude fibre was highest in sattu were 8.87 percent, 12.75, 7.66 and 3.57 per cent respectively. Soy-whey based products are nutritious as they are good sources of proteins and minerals.
