Poor quality complementary foods contribute to undernutrition in children aged 6-23 months. Therefore, there is need to explore foods that will provide adequate nutrients for this age group. This study aimed at determining the impact of a sorghum-amaranth composite flour porridge on nutrient intake of children aged 6-23 months. A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Kiandutu slum, Thika, Kenya. Children in the control group (CG), received a maize-sorghum flour while those in the treatment group (TG) received an amaranth-sorghum flour. The sample size per study group was 73 mother-child pairs. The children in the TG received Kcal 1000 worth of porridge/day while those in the CG received Kcal 266.8/day. Mothers of children in both groups were given nutrition education at baseline, and monthly, for six months. Food intake data was taken at baseline, then monthly for six months. Descriptive statistics were used to describe nutrient intake. Chi square and Mann Whitney U test were was used to compare the baseline characteristics of the two groups and their nutrient intake, respectively. At baseline characteristics of the two groups were similar. On a monthly basis, nutrient intake in the TG was significantly higher for a majority of the nutrients than in the CG. The product can contribute to preventing under-nutrition in children aged 6-23 months.

Due to the technological importance that the extrusion process represents in the application of fast food, the objective of this work was to apply pregelatinized rice and sorghum flours in the development of an instant preparation soup and to evaluate its centesimal, technological, and their sensorial analysis. Ten formulations of the instant soup were prepared from the mixtures experimental design. According to the experimental results, it can be stated that the predicted values corroborated with the experimental values, that is, a mixture was obtained for the instant soup with the characteristics of water absorption, water solubility, color, luminosity and viscosity close to the predicted by the models. After the physical and chemical analysis, the microbiological characterization of the best formulation defined by the desirability test was used, which demonstrated that the product is suitable to microbiological standards. The results obtained showed that the 80:10:10 instant soup formulation of pregelatinized rice flour, pregelatinized sorghum flour and potato starch allowed the experimental development of a new product with good nutritional characteristics benefits. It was obtained a food with good technological characteristics solubility and absorption in water, good viscosity, light color and with good sensory acceptance by the tasters.

Sorghum seeds have good nutrition for human health. Therefore, preparation for food needs to be done by various methods. This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties of sorghum flour at various particle sizes obtained from soaked seeds in water before and after dehulling. This study used white sorghum seeds (KD-4 variety), and the experiment involved three factors: seeds soaking in water before and after dehulling, the soaking duration of the seeds (0, 12, 24, 36, 48 hrs), and the particle size of the flour passed through 40, 60, 80, 100 mesh sieves. This result showed, was chosen method of making white sorghum flour that was to soak the seeds in water for 24 hrs after dehulling. Followed by drying, milling, and sieving on various particle fractions will be adjusted according to their use. The physicochemical properties of sorghum flour were whiteness: 66.85±0.85–73.44±0.99%; bulk density: 514.35±0.95–584.10±1.00 g/L; initial temperature of gelatinization: 87.80±1.20 – 92.25±1.45°C; gelatinization time: 16.00±0.01 –18.00±1.00 mins; viscosity at temperature 50°C: 1250.1±46.7–3568.3±230.9 Cp; setback viscosity: 1250.6±46.7–3568.3±230.9 Cp; moisture content: 8.26±0.14 - 9.56±0.30% wet basis; ash content: 0.14±0.01–0.35±0.02% dry basis; protein content: 5.30±0.05– 6.77±0.38% dry basis; fat content: 1.02±0.01–2.40±0.01% dry basis; carbohydrate content: 81.66±0.60–84.33±0.18% dry basis; and amylose content: 12.43±0.28– 24.35±0.06% dry basis. The method for making white sorghum flour can be used to produce applied technology in home industries and suitable for cake and extrusion products.

Sorghum (S. bicolor) collected from Dhankuta district was used for malting. Sorghum was steeped for 12 hours at Relative humidity of 70±5% and germinated at room temperature (28±3°C) with repeated change of water at interval of every 8 hours for 2, 3,4,5,6 and 7 days. The germinated samples of each day were taken for kilning at the temperature scenario of 50-55°C until moisture reaches to 23%; 70-75°C until moisture reaches to 12%; and 90-95% until moisture reaches to 3-5%. The result of enzyme activity determination showed that the sorghum germinated for 3 days has the higher enzyme activity of 27.39 units per gram dry matter. Proximate analysis of malted and unmalted flour showed significant different (p<0.05) in fat, ash, reducing sugar and crude fiber content. Likewise calcium and iron content of malted flour was significantly increased (p<0.05) than that of unmalted one with subsequent decreased (p<0.05) in their binder oxalate and phytate respectively. The sorghum of higher enzyme activity was then used to prepare the biscuit. Malted sorghum and wheat flour was blended in the following ratios: samples A; 30: 70, sample B; 50:50, sample C; 60:40, sample D; 0:100. The organolaptic test shows the significant difference (p<0.05) between these samples in terms of flavor and test. The mean sensory score was found to be higher for sample C. This suggests that the malted sorghum flour can be used for the preparation of biscuit upto 60% (w/w) of wheat flour without alteration in texture, crispiness, appearance and overall acceptability.Sunsari Technical College Journal 2015, 2(1):33-37
