  • Nutritional Adequacy of Commercial Infant Milk Formulas

    M Akmal KhanARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition2008

    The nutritional adequacy of six commonly consumed commercial infant milk formulas were evaluated chemically and biologically in growing rats. Infant formulas (per 100 kcal) provided protein (2.2–2.6 g), fat (4.9–5.4 g), available carbohydrates (10.3–11.4 g), Ca (62.5–80.8 mg), P (31.3–66.1 mg), Fe (0.7–1.8 mg), Zn (0.5–0.8 mg), and Cu (0.05–0.08 mg). The energy density varied between 503 and 526 kcal/100 g. Higher levels of linoleic and saturated…

  • Nutritive value of various rice based dishes in Saudi Arabia

    M A Al‐Kanhal, M A Al-Kanhal et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1999

    Chemical composition and nutritional quality of eight Saudi dishes based on rice were investigated. On a fresh weight basis, the dishes contained 59.6–71.8% moisture, 2.5–4.7% protein (N×6.25), 1.2–5.4% fat, 20.4–32.1% carbohydrates, 0.1–1.7% dietary fibre, 0.5–1.7% ash and 124–165kcals (metabolizable energy) per 100g dish. Among vitamins, vitamin A (Retinol Equivalent) ranged from 0–900μg, thiamin 0.02–0.10 mg, riboflavin 0.01–0.64mg and vitamin…

  • Nutritive value of selected milk and milk‐cereal blend baby foods in Saudi Arabia

    M Akmal Khan, M A Al‐Kanhal et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1998

    The nutritional quality of six baby foods based on milk or milk‐cereals consumed in Saudi Arabia, was evaluated by means of chemical and biological assays. The baby foods (milk‐based vs milk‐cereal) provided (per 100 kcal) protein (5.0–5.3 g vs 2.8–3.9 g), fat (5.5–5.6 g vs 2.0–4.5 g), carbohydrates (7.2–7.4 g vs 12.1–16.5 g), Ca (188–200 mg vs 115–180 mg), P (146–153 mg vs 80–105 mg) and Fe (0.18–0.20 mg vs 1.5–2.0 mg). Metabolizable energy (ME)…

  • Nutritive value of some wheat based dishes consumed in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia

    M A Al‐Kanhal, M A Al-Kanhal et al.ARTICLEEcology of Food and Nutrition1994

    Nutrient composition and nutritional quality of six Saudi Arabian dishes based on wheat were studied. The dishes, on fresh weight basis, contained 2.4–6.7% protein (N × 6.25), 0.4–6.0% fat, 10.4–31.4% carbohydrates, 1.7–4.6 dietary fibre, 0.7–2.0% ash and 66–206 kcal per 100 g. The concentrations of vitamin A (Retinol Equivalent), thiamin, riboflavin and vitamin C ranged from 0–411 μg, 0.02–0.06 mg, 0.04–0.94 mg and 0.52–2.87 mg per 100 g respect…
