Abstract
The protein of CSM, a cornmeal—soy flour-milk solids mixture now being used extensively in child feeding, has been demonstrated to have a biological value approximately two-thirds that of casein. To be the main source of protein in the diet it should provide 12% of total calories as protein. Its digestibility is relatively poor, as is that of most vegetable mixtures. Its biological value might be enhanced by methionine enrichment or by improving its digestibility.Keywords
