In order to assess the preference and the nutritive value of soybean flour-steamed bread (soybean flour-mantow), a study was carried out. The sensory evaluation of mantow supplemented with whole soybean flour at 10, 12, 15 and 18% was made based on the criteria of color, flavor, texture, grainness and overall acceptability. The experimental results showed that the 15% soybean flour-mantow (15 S-MT) had the best preference. Using Wistar weanling male rats, the results of growth study showed that the PER values of casein, mantow and l5S-MT were 3.1±0.2, 1.2±0.3 and 2.5±0.2, respectively, and the corrected PER values were 2.5, 1.0 and 2.0, respectively. There were significant differences between each group (p<0.001). Both weight gain and growth curve showed that the higher nutritive value of soybean flour mantow could be due to the supplementary effect of lysine provided by the soybean flour.
