| Abstract | ||
| In the present study, Egyptian yellow and white maize were used to prepare tortilla by cooking methods in the presence of 1% (wlv) Ca (OH)2. A trial was carried out to increase torilla nutritive value by adding wheat flour and soybean flour. The produced tortilla was subjected to panel test and chemical analysis. Addition of 25% wheat flour and 15% soybean flour and 25% wheat flour + 10% soybean flour gave good tortilla. Dry matter losses during cooking and washing of nixtamal were determined in the two corn varieties. | ||
