A solar box cooker (SBC) has been recently developed which has the advantages of utilizing only sunlight as the energy source and of being inexpensive to make, lightweight, efficient, and convenient to use. The SBC has been shown to successfully cook a variety of foods including legumes, cereals, and vegetables. This study examines the effect of cooking in the SBC on nutrient retention in foods in order to provide quantitative data needed in further assessing the SBC's utility. Such data have not been previously available. The study includes a variety of foods uhich permit a more general assessment. Samples of raw foods and of those cooked in the SBC are analyzed and compared for contents of ascorbic acid, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, carotene, protein, amino acids, available lysine, and moisture. Comparisons are made for two cooking time periods. Although nutrient retention was found to vary among the different foods tested and the various nutrients which were examined, the results have shown that cooking foods in the SBC maintains the nutrient content of foods as well or better than other cooking methods. Thus, the SBC can be used without negatively impacting on food qualit

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years

Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.

Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
