“…The results are of practical importance for populations consuming diets which are poor on both quantity and quality of protein since lime-treated corn is the most important staple food in the rural diet of most Central American countries (Flores, 1961;Flores and Garcia, 1960). Efforts should be made to find effective ways of improving its protein contribution.…”

Food intake studies in pre-school children in developing countries: Problems of measurement and evaluation

“…Of the many reasons for measuring food intake, the chief one in developing countries is that little or no previous information exists (Flores and Garcia, 1960;Sundararaj, Begum, Jesudian and Pereira, 1969;Rao, Singh and Swaminathan, 1969;Selinus, Gobe-zie, Knutsson and Vahlquist, I971 ;Chandrapanond, Ratchatasilpin and Tansuphasiri, 1972). Less frequently, it is measured in order to relate different observcd state; of healch, or parierns of growth with different levels of intake (Rea,I97I), or io evduatz nutrition education or applied nulrilion programmes (Jones and Pereira,197.2).…”
