- Abstract: Twenty four subjects at weaning period were selected for experimental feeding of 10% fish flour supplements with wheat flour noodles. Experimental regimen was 2 months. Total serum protein, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell counts were increased significantly in both sexes. However, a reduction of albumin concentration in serum was found ; also significant increases in globulin fractions occured. Although results suggest an advantage of fish flour supplements, further investigation is required to conclude the definite benefit of fish Hour supplements to Korean children, who need taste acceptability tests of fish flour under strictly controlled conditions.
