Abstract

Sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) was infested with Sitophilus oryzae and green gram (Phaseolus radiatus) with Callosobruchus chinensis for 3 and 4.5 months, respectively. Final total uric acid contents were for Sorghum 90.6 and for green gram 213 mg/100 g. Lysine and threonine contents fell significantly with infestation. The protein efficiency ratio (PER) values of 3:1 and 1:1 blends of uninfested sorghum and green gram were 2.27 and 2.53 while that of sorghum alone was 1.30. The PER values of the blends after infestation were 1.70 and 1.89, respectively
