FOREWORD

a.1 This Indian Standard

was adopted by the Indian Standards
tnstitution on 20 July 1973; after the draft finalized by the Nutrition
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Agricultural and Food
Products Division Council.
0.2 Since the supply of milk proteins in the country is limited,
considerable
efforts are being made to utilize vegetable proteins to
fight prqtein malnutrition.
Consequently, a number of protein-rich foods
are now being marketed.
It has, therefore, become necessary to prescribe
minimum requirements
for protein-rich
foods, for which a series of
standards is being compiled.
These standards are expected to help in
optimum utilization of edible oilseed -flours, guide the manufacturers in
formulating their products, and ensure desired performance levels fol
consumers.
0.2.1 This standard,
which is, the first in the series, prescribes
specifications for protein-rich food supplements for infants and preschool
children
between
18 months and 5 years of age. The committee
responsible for preparing this standard felt that the time was now
opportune to have standards based on quality evaluation of protein;
furthermore, the nu,trients in food supplements for infants and preschool
children are pract tally the same, though the form in which they are
@-educed, migl$i d offer.
0.2.2 This standard does not define any particular composition of
protein-rich food supplements for infants and preschool children.
\Vith
a view to encouraging new formulations for these food supplements, this
standard specifies only the minimum level of nutrients in the end product
and the quality of protein.
The levels of nutrients, it was felt, should be
such as to meet at least one-third of the daily requirements of a weaned
child regarding protein and calories, while meeting the entire daily
requirements of vitamins in 100 g of the food.
0.3 While formulating this standard, necessary consideration has been
given to the relevant rules prescribed by the Government of India, under
the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. This standard is subject
to restrictions imposed under the Act and the Rules framed thereunder,
wherever applicable.

IS : 7021- i973
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular
requirement
of this
standard is complied
with, the final valtte, observed
or calculated,
expressing
the result of a test or analysis,
shall be rounded
off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960*.
The number of significant
places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the spccificd vnluc
in this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This
sampling
preschool

standard
prescribes
the requirements
and t!re methods
of
and tests for protein-rich
food supplements
for infants and
clrildren between 18 months and 5 years of age.

2. TERMINOLOGY

2.0 For

the

purpose

of

this

standnrd,

the

following

definitions

shall

apply.

2.1 Type Tests - These tests are (see 3.2 ) to prove the conformity to the
requirements
of this standard.
They
are intended
to approve
the
formulation
and quality of the product
at least in the beginning
of
marketing
and/or certification.
These
tests may also be conducted
periodically to supplement the routine tests or whenever the basic formula
is changed.
2.2 Routine Tests -These
tests (see 3.3) are carried out on each lot to
check the essential requirements
that are likely to vary during production.
3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Raw Materials-Raxv

materials and other ingredients

used in the
manufacture
of protein-rich
foocl supplements
for infants and preschc-.l
children shall be of good quality.
In particular
edible oilseed flour(s),
if used, shall conform to the following standards:
a) Groundnut

flour-IS

h) Cottonseed

flour-

c) Soya flour --IS:
