Characteristics of Microbiological and Physicochemical of Complementary Foods Based on Maize (Zea mays) Fortification With Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea)
Abstract:Protein-energy malnutrition is regarded as one of the public health problems in developing countries as a result of poor feeding practices due to poverty. The study was aimed at formulating complementary foods using on maize and Bambara groundnut with a view of reducing malnutrition in low income families. The blends 70% maize, 30% Bambara groundnut were subjected into proximate, sensory and biochemical analyses using standard procedures. Nutrend (a commercial formula) was used as control. The effect of some p… Show more
