The multigrain atta helps to meet the nutrient requirements effectively for people of all age groups including the elderly
The Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has inked a pact with Punjab Agri Export Corporation, PAGREXCO, Chandigarh for commercialisation of mutigrain atta formulation designed by the University.
Dr AS Dhatt, Director of Research, PAU and Taraun Sen, Manager, Punjab Agri Export Corporation Limited (PAGREXCO), signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA). Dr GS Mangat, Additional Director of Research (Crop Improvement) and Dr NS Bains, Former Director of Research, under whose guidance the MoA was initiated were also present.
Dr Amarjeet Kaur, Principal Food Technologist, said that this multigrain atta would help to meet the nutrient requirements effectively for people of all age groups including the elderly.
Dr Kamaljit Kaur, Assistant Professor, stated that multigrain atta was made from whole grains namely wheat, maize, gram, barley, defatted soya and oats, which were carefully ground on ’Chakkis’ and mixed in proportion to balance colour, taste and nutrition. Dough made from the atta was smooth, absorbed more water and the chapatti stayed soft for longer, she added.
This is the 277 MoA and third MoA of the concerned technology.
