A supplementary food was prepared on the basis of kulanthaiamuthu composition for the treatment of protein calorie malnourished children aged five to ten years. According to the formulae four supplementary foods of SPI incorporation 10, 15, 20 percent were prepared using wheat, ragi, bajra and sorghum. On the basis of sensory evaluation bajra based SPI incorporated supplementary food mix were chosen for the feeding trial. Two groups of girl children in age of five to ten years each were selected. Total number of children participated in the present study was 100. First group constituted control group; the second group of children supplemented with 100g of bajra based SPI incorporated supplementary food mix in the form of laddu along with their home diet for a period of 100 days. The anthropometric parameters like height, weight, and mid-upper arm circumference were measured before and after the administration of supplementary food. Before the supplementation the height, weight, skin fold thickness and mid arm circumference and biochemical estimation like haemoglobin and serum protein found to be lower than the standard. After the supplementation the height increased from0.1-0.3cm,weight from 0.5-1.0kg,skinfold thickness from 0.1-0.2cm,midarm circumference from0.1-0.2cm,haemoglobin level from1.1-2.5g per dl and serum protein from 2.0-2.5 g per dl increased. The data obtained from the study subjects were quantified, classified, tabulated and expressed in percentages. The paired’ test was used for pre and post treatments comparison.
