“…In Nigeria, the introduction of complementary food usually starts between age 4 and 6 years; and usually involves the use of a semi-liquid porridge prepared locally by the mother from staple cereals or tubers [Bentley et al, 1991;Nout, 1993;Guptill et al, 1993]. Complementary feeding period is the time when malnutrition starts in many infants, contributing significantly to the high prevalence of malnutrition in children less than 5 years of age worldwide [Daelmans & Saadeh, 2003].…”

Key words: popcorn-based complementary foods, amino acid profi le, nutritional qualityThe aims of this study are to produce and evaluate nutritional quality of complementary foods using popcorn, bambara groundnut and African locust beans.The food materials were fermented, oven dried, milled and sieved into fl our. The fl ours were mixed as follows: fermented popcorn-African locust bean (FPA) (70% popcorn, 30% African locust bean), fermented popcorn-bambara groundnut (FPB) (70% popcorn, 30% bambara groundnut) and fermented popcorn-African locust bean-bambara groundnut (FPAB) (70% popcorn, 20% bambara groundnut, 10% African locust bean). Physicochemical, sensory and nutritional properties of food samples were determined using standard methods.Protein content of FPAB (26.87±1.07 g/100 g) was signifi cantly higher than FPB (20.87±1.02 g/100 g) and FPA (20.49 g/100 g) respectively. For mineral composition, potassium had the highest value in FPA (173.75±0.21 mg/100 g), FPB (157.45±0.25 mg/100 g) and FPAB (132.75±0.15mg/100 g), while copper was the least mineral. The percentage recommended daily allowance (RDA) met by total essential amino acid (TEAA) ranged between 55.99% for FPA and 82.33% for FPB. The predicted protein effi ciency ratio (P-PER) range between 0.54 and 1.43 for FPB and FPAB respectively; while biological value (BV) was between 20.13 and 39.94%. The oxalate, tannin, phytate and trypsin inhibition of popcorn-based food samples was reduced to a minimum level.It could be concluded that FPAB had a better nutritional quality over FPA and FPB using selected nutritional indices; hence, FPAB blends could be used as complementary food for infants. However, nutritional and biochemical studies of the formulations are needed to further substantiate their nutritional potentials.Brought to you by | MIT Libraries Authenticated Download Date | 5/9/18 11:04 PM

“…Using maize meal as complementary food is not unique to South Africa, as it is used for infant feeding in many African countries (Bentley et al, 1991;Lartey et al, 1999;Huffman et al, 2000). In the South African study, 17% of the 475 infants consumed animal products and 26% consumed dairy products during the 24 h recall period (the day prior to the survey).…”

“…In Nigeria, as in most other sub-Saharan countries, breastfeeding is practiced by nearly all women in both rural and urban areas (Bentley et al, 1991;Jansen, 1992). In that part of the world, complementary feeding is usually begun between 3 and 6 months of age, but the length of time a mother will breastfeed has been shown to vary from 1 to 2 years depending on socioeconomic factors (Jansen, 1992).…”

“…In Nigeria, the introduction of CF usually involves use of a semi-liquid porridge prepared locally by the mother from staple cereals or tubers (Bentley et al, 1991;Nout, 1993;Guptill, Esrey, Oni, & Brown, 1993). Legumes such as soybeans, bambara nut and groundnut are often used to complement the high cereal content.…”
