Abstract:
The cornerstone of geriatric nutrition is a well-balanced diet. In this study, an attempt has been made to formulate a geriatric food gruel mix with higher nutritive value. All geriatric food mixes prepared from quinova, amaranth, moringa and other ingredients were nutritionally superior in terms of protein, fat, fibre, ash, iron, zinc and ascorbic acid but carbohydrate content was estimated as lower than control sample in all modified formulations. Thus in the light of the scientific data it may be concluded that quinoa, amaranth (pseudo-cereal) and moringa are good source of macro and micro nutrients hence open the way of introducing these materials to daily food items to prevent health problems.
