title: Improvement of Supramine and development of new food mixtures for the young. I. Improvement of Supramine.
abstract: Supramine, a food mixture produced in Egypt by El-Nil Pharmaceutical Company supported by UNICEF. The product suffers from two problems: It is not well liked by the children, and its shelf life is relatively short. Studies were made to overcome these problems. Pretreatment of the ingredients such as cooking, autoclaving or roasting markedly improved palatability of the product. Adjustment of the conditions of the enzyme action increased hydrolysis of the starchy material making the product more soft and digestible. Formulation of new mixtures gave the chance to the produce to satisfy the wish of a wide sector of the consumers. The heat treatment made to the ingredients minimized contamination and prolonged shelf life of the product.
