Abstract:Childhood malnutrition is a major concern in developing countries, particularly in Ethiopia. This study aims to address this problem by assessing the nutritional properties of snacks made from locally available raw materials. The study used a twin-screw extruder machine to study the effects of different processing conditions (barrel temperatures, feed moisture content, and cowpea/emmer wheat blending ratio) on the nutritional properties of extruded products. The results showed a highly significant effect of th… Show more
