Abstract:

On the basis of nutrient reference value (NRV) and coefficient of variance calculation, a new nutritional evaluation
model of agricultural products was formulated against the nutritional evaluation by individual nutritional ingredient. The
parameter, INB (Index of Nutrient Balance), can be used to evaluate the nutrition balance of agricultural products. A small
number for INB implies a more nutrition balance of the products. Meanwhile, the nutrition balance of millet, maize, wheat and
rice was analyzed and compared by using this method. This nutritional evaluation model is significant to the development and
depth processing of agricultural products.

Key words: agricultural products, NRV, INB, effectiveness
