I. Subject of the Study A study on the nutritive composition and utilization of wheat or barley for the improvement in our national dietary life. II. Purpose and Importance of the Stu요 1. Korea has long depended on rice for its staple food, but a sharp increase in population in recent years has brought about the shortage of rice, which makes it inevitable to import a great quantity of foreign rice. It is considered therefore that the development and utilization of other cereals than rice is a serious and pressing problem facing Korea. 2. Wheat and barley are the second largest products next to rice in Korea and it is desired that the composition of several kinds of wheat and barley be analysed and their nutrition which rates with differing degrees of hulling process be specified. 3. In this study, the experiment has been carried out in the following order: first, seven species were selected among various kinds of wheat and barley produced in Korea to analyze their respective composition, and to determine the most ideal degree of hulling process on 5 kinds among the 7 kinds: second, ratio of mixing rice with wheat or barley is increase the nutrition value and to seek selfsufficiency in staple food supply: third, economical and reasonable way of improving the nutrition value in the national dietary life is suggested by developing a simple and easy recipe which is also to the taste of the population. III. Contents and Scope of the Study 1. Objectives of the study The objectives will come under five items.
