Effect of Blanching, Varietal Difference of Irish Potato Flour and Sprouted Maize Flour on Energy Density of Gruels of Three Irish Potatoes Varieties (Cipira, Pamela and Dosa) in Dschang, West-Cameroon: Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
Abstract:Child malnutrition is a problem that usually occurs from the age of weaning. It is mostly manifested in the form of protein-energy malnutrition and mainly affects many infants in developing countries. This study is aimed at improved the energy density of gruels made from Irish potato flours by using the response surface methodology. To achieve this, blanched and unblanched Irish potato flours of three varieties (Cipira, Dosa and Pamela) were produced. The flours were then chemically and physically characterize… Show more
