Notes:
Defatted and partially defatted peanut flours were tested in fortified food blends utilized in food aid programs. Peanut flours were compared with soy flours as components of blends containing partially or fully gelatinized corn meal, nonfat dry milk, soybean oil, vitamins and minerals. Changes in flavor, peroxides, free fatty acids, available and added L-lysine HCI after storage for 2, 6 and 12 months were evaluated and found satisfactory. Protein efficiency ratios (PER) were about 0.7 units lower in blends containing peanut rather than soy protein. Increased PER values were obtained by the addition of 0.3–0.57% L-lysine HCI or by combining peanut with soy proteins. No further improvement in PER values was effected in peanut formulations by the addition of DL-methionine in combination with L-lyine HCI.
