Abstract

To make yam (Dioscorea spp) more useful as low-cost, nutritive weaning food, it has been developed a scheme for processing it into infant flours with a long shelf-life. An attempt was allow to highlight how manufacturing process and the incorporation of soybean (Glycine max), baobab pulp (Andasonia digitata), locust pulp or seeds (Parkia biglobosa) and Cerathoteca sesamoides leaves, modifies nutritive value of formulated infant foods prepared from fermented yam. Nutrient bioavailabilities of the formulations thus prepared were evaluated. In addition, antinutrient content in infant flours has been investigated. The results obtained show that, there is improvement in the nutrient quality of the formulated complementary foods containing malted millet, MCS and MNB. In general infant flours formulated retained an acceptable level on antinutrients content.
