The Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama, short INCAP (Spanish: Instituto de Nutrición de Centro América y Panamá) is a supranational institution of the Central American Integration System (SICA).[1]

In the 1960s, INCAP developed a plant-based drink called Incaparina, made from maize, cottonseed flour and soya bean flour and fortified with vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, calcium, zinc, phosphorus, and lysine (a protein).[4][5]
