title: [Intermediate moisture food for elder people based on a legume: soybeans, mixture with calcium].
abstract: An intermediate moisture food (IMF), has been developed in our laboratory for elder people, over 60 years. The IMF is based on a cereal: legume mixture with calcium and flavour, it supplies proteins, carbohydrates and vegetable oils; as well as, high energetic density (3.22 cal/g) and covers up to 51% of calcium needed. It can be easily consumed as a tasty and soft food. It has a water activity of 0.80, for it can be stored at room conditions. It is very likely that IMF becomes a good alternative to improve and vary elder peoples diet.
